What model SU is this?

Hi guys and gals,
Project is progressing well. Recap: Bought this BE at end of Nov. from PO who had it for 12 1/2 years. He disassembled it and had the body stripped, repaired and painted. I've been bying parts like crazy and trying to improve on the PO's progress. So far, no big surprises!
Even though he bought rebuilt shocks, 2 of the 4 have leaked. Vendor replaced at 1/2 price!
When the rear axle would not allow the rebound straps to fit and it looked like the driveshaft would not line up, I just had the older brother, who carries more weight than I, get in the car. A little shaking, and the springs settled nicely, and the bolts for the straps went RIGHT IN.
This is the set of SUs I got with the 1275. Anyone know what model? No tags, but the body was stamped with the number 113. It is supplied with a vacuum port. I would like to convert the front carb to one with two inlets so I can clean up the fuel lines. Anyone know where I could get just one fuel bowl top? Thanks for the help, cheers.

Here is a pic of the front: Suspension and brakes installed. Slightly tipsy photographer!

They are HS2 carbs I have several fuel bowl tops. Let me know what you are looking for exactly. Keep in mind that the float hinge orientation can be important if you plan to throw the car around a lot.
 
they are 1 1/4", and yes HS2, what number?, Or, does it matter. I plan on rebuilding them.
Thanks,
Scott

AUD numbers are unimportant, call Joe Curto, (www.joecurto.com) he needs to know whether you have biased (spring) or solid needles, and replace with solid throttle discs if you have the poppet valve ones. get new shafts too. If you don't want to build them yourself, I do this professionally and would be glad to do it for you, I've built many guys here on the forum carbs.
