They were there 43 years ago, try lightly sanding the balancer with 320 paper and see if they come up. As far as the tab, I had no tab on my mustang. So I bought a TDC locator, its a 3 inch long brass plug you screw into your #1 plug hole. Then you turn the motor over by hand (with plugs removed) in both directions. Marking the balancer both ways around. Split the difference for your TDC. Then I made my own tab and mounted it to match the mark on the balancer. below is the part.
