So the sticker on my Jet says "Jet JWBS-14OS", but when I went to order a belt, the online manual clearly is not the bandsaw I have. When I google Jet JWBS-14OS, that clearly is not the bandsaw I have. What I have is exactly like this: https://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/index.php?threads/sold-moving-sale-jet-14-bandsaw.70395/ and https://ozarktoolmanuals.com/machinemanual/jetasian-jwbs-14os-jwbs-14cs-14-band-saw-operators-parts-manual/. The motor is in the front, with the drive belt in a shroud behind it. What model is that? And where would I find a manual?

Have you tried Jet's site? They also answer their phone.

I have a JWBS-14CS (708115K) and my manuals etc shows the motor in the rear. It appears my info covers for both open & closed stands. If helpful I have all in electronic format ....

Call Jet and ask.

I was looking for my copy of the manual (found the fence manual and the riser block instructions)...but I did find a copy on the internet.

PDF of the manual

It appears that the motor behind version is an earlier version of the JWBS-14OS (contemporaneous with my 14CS) It looks like the 14OS was reconfigured sometime on or before 2011.
