This is the closest that I can find.

Does the inside of the belt have any special material to make it grip better?

Ya the outside of my waist belt is Dyneema fabric and the inside is a softer black material. I remember Dan telling me that the Dyneema fabric is too slippery for the inside of the waist belt. My shoulder straps are Dyneema all the way around.
That makes sense.
My pack belts don't have as much to hold onto as they did 15 years ago. I think I'm going to sew some coated spacer mesh on the insides of them and test them out.
From your description, that independent cone shaped belt structure is probably the main thing that most of us would benefit from who are over 50.
