Just in case it helps anyone a small update. This IS the timing mark however when the marks line up it should be at TDC. Not in my case as the marks on the camshafts were no where near. So I aligned the cams and the crank mark was approx 30 deg to the right. Possible that the belt on the crank (with the timing mark) was fitted incorrectly or has been moved.

Never time to a belt. The timing marks are always on the metal body of a pulley.
