I have checked locally:

The code representation looks identical to the official register at
https://www.epsg-registry.org/
--> Retrieve by code: 31370

Also here I see the same representation as in the online epsg registry, see:
https://www.epsg-registry.org/export.htm?wkt=urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG::31300

"https://www.epsg-registry.org/
-> code 31300

"Remarks:
Replaces 21500 (Belge 1950 / Belge Lambert 50). An alternative - Belge
1972 / Belgian Lambert 72 (code 31370) - was introduced in 2000 to use
the standard Lambert Conic Conformal (2SP) projection method (code
9802). EPSG recommends this alternative.
"

I cannot spot any differences to the EPSG registry.
Which source of information did you use?

Best regards,
