"They are put the same place that Packard put them which is pretty much industry standard."

see 55-56 Packard service manual, engine section, p14, figure 24. It shows the "O" mark directly at the root of the tooth. In fact, i am holding a Packard V8 crank sprocket in my hand rite here and rite now and the top of "O" mark is nearly cut off by the root of the tooth of the sprocket.

I'm not sure what u are calling an "industry standard" but placing the "O" mark on the face of the flange that the harmonic balancer presses against is unusual at best. Mite be somekind of chinese or other 3rd world standard but not US nor EC standard that i've seen on countless engines across countless manufacturers.
