Carb identification issue

Hello.

Having read many, many posts and AH-related documents, I'm still unable to identify the carbs on my '54 BN1.
Being fitted with an AUC 6040 body (H6 ?), I guess they are coming from a completely different car.
Without knowing more about these carbs, I'm pretty sure to get the wrong rebuild kits, so I prefer to ask before... and, of course, there is no (more) tab on the float chambers to provide any indication.

I attached some pictures, so should anybody have the answer, please tell me :tennis:

Thank you in advance for your help !

Regards,

Matt

The number that counts is the number etched into the lower part of the body in pic 2.
Offhand they appear to be H6 as used in the 100M or LeMans.
 
Thank you for your replies.
I had already read Burlen pages, but except their H6-based look, I couldn't find any additional information regarding the carbs and their application - esp. no data matching with the hand-written numbers.
Maybe they are simple H6 "tuned" to 100/4, but "tuned" doesn't necessarily mean "optimized"...
