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.
