Should the black tie straps have a circular cutout right before the tip or should it just be a circular tooling mark on the backside?

Re: Correct tie strap question
Hi Steve,
The original ties on my 71 have the round hole punched near the tip and the round 'tooling' mark on them as you describe. The repros I have have those 2 details too, but are subtly different in other ways. The repros have 2 more of those round marks on the tab end but the originals don't; and the original has an additional little taper at the tip end that the repro doesn't have.
Although my ties are original to my car I don't know how typical they are.
