The Hoover Cleaning Tools model 1031 will fit your convertible & are available on Ebay right now. 2 sets one buy it now the other has bids on it. They are not the dark colour as the base but are the off white which will still work. Nice vacuum even with the lense too, good luck with the attachments!!

Congrats on your find! Those 1060's are really nice: I have one myself that's still in perfect condition, as well as a Convertible that's as old as I am -- and it's still running like brand new, too!
Anyway, on your question about the belts: there is a round belt, available from your local vacuum shop, that's made for the Convertible and cleaners like it (such as the Decade 80/800, Guardsman, and Hoover Commercial uprights). If your vac shop carries Type C bags, they'll have the right kind of belt for your cleaner -- guaranteed! If not, just ask them to order for you Hoover Convertible belts. They should have no trouble getting them from parts suppliers like Steel City, ESSCO, or HESCO (to name a few).
About oiling. I've never heard anyone recommend DIY oiling of vacuum cleaners, since their bearings are permanently lubricated/packed in grease when manufactured. That said, if you take your cleaner to a good vac shop for a tune-up every so often, they'll lubricate it for you as part of the service (or at least the shop I patronize does!).
Happy Hoovering!
