Are you absoultely sure there is no pulley mark? That doesn't fit.  I

have seen some that were trying to hide from me though.

I just ran upstairs and checked my pulleys.  No marks.  But the e-shaft
pulley is bolted to a flange that is keyed to the e-shaft, and that flange
has symmetric bolt holes.  So any mark on the pulley could be mis-assembled
to give a bad indication.  Don't bother looking there.

The pulley mounting flange didn't have any marks either, and it is too small
in diameter to be used with the timing reference pin on the front cover.

Conjecture:  Mazda used a stock front cover for a turbo13B on the 20B, and
there is no timing mark on the pulley.  That index pin is a hold-over from
the 13B.

Guess us 20B types just have to use the oil/poly tube trick to find our
TDCs.  When you do, file a shallow notch in the front pulley and match-mark
the pulley to the e-shaft flange!
