there is a section in the carb guide on how to identify.
I think they are 77 and later bs 38's?
Single throttle, linked.

I'm new to this, but those look like BS-38's to me. Not sure of the year.
They look to be a '78-'79 set of BS38s. The "tells" are they're linked as a "bank" and use a single throttle cable, they have internal float bowl vents (located at 3 and 9 o'clock on the intake bell), and they have no hose nipples on the float bowl bottoms for an overflow hose.

don't get a kit! Kits are full of useless parts.
You will need two bowl gaskets, a few various sized pilot/main jets, and You may need diaphrams's. how are your?
With choke off, blow into the oval hole in the top of the bell, if it rises, prolly good.
Another way to check is to push the plunger up all the way, lick your thumb, and cover the oval. If the plunger falls very, very slowly, they are good. You prolly need air mix screws too.
The diaphrams are not cheep, but the other stuff(brass), will cost you just as much as a kit, without wasted parts. look over the carb guide .
