They were all variations of the Solex PDSIT 32s, but with different 
VW part numbers. They probably had different designations in the 
Solex universe, too, but I have no idea how we would ever discover 
what those were.

When they were new, each carb came with a little alum tag screwed 
under one of the float bowl screws. That tag had the full VW part # 
on it. That's the only way to be completely sure of what carb you're 
looking at.

Those tags invariably get lost during rebuilds, leading to questions 
like this.
