Steve, I have one NOS strap, and three of the correct reproduction ones, 8-1/2", brown, Firestone logo. I was going to use them on a car that I was restoring for show, but that project got canceled.
I have attached two photos of the straps to this post. The first photo shows one side of the straps, then I turned them over to show the other side. In each photo, the strap at the far left is the NOS one and the other three are the reproduction ones. The reproduction ones look good on one side, however the opposite side has some flaws. I would have to say that the reproduction ones are "seconds", not "first quality". However, they were the only ones that I have been able to find of this length. I do not know who manufactured the reproduction straps, but I purchased them from another FordBarn member. I've had NOS of the shorter straps but have already sold them.
