I think this article will explain those numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_steel_grades

To "translate" them to European standards I would get the composition for them and then hunt for the European grade closest to it.  As composition actually is a range rather than a single value there can be overlaps.

I have 2 abrasive manufactures in my area. They are trying to work thru the web. They have been closed to walk ins since covid and they are starting to open up. I have a 2 x 72 OBM grinder and got an assortment of  14 belts for 25 bucks. I was lucky they were local. SO I picked them up. I bought local purposely supporting my neighbors.

I am near Reading, PA we have Reading Abrasives  who I have bought from in the past. But now they are making to order.   https://industrialabrasives.com/

I recently bought from Keystone abrasive also in Reading. They were more responsive at this time. Ted Mullins is the sales guy so you call them and tell you what they want.   https://keystoneabrasives.com/index.htm

Niether manufacture has minimums. Both will make to order or they will have over stock from other orders so they may offer substutes.
