Mutant B Carb

I purchased (what I thought was) a Model B carburettor, for the purposes of acquiring a core to be re-built. I didn't look close enough, for though it has nearly the form of a Model B carb., it has some clear differences, as shown in the attached pictures. As shown in the first picture, I see

A) Something akin to an oversize secondary well (???)
B) An additional flow valve in the main bowl
C) An outlet through a different air passage, which connects to an opening on the air-side of the choke plate
D) A 'sleeve' for the main jet

Also, it does not have the traditional 'GAV' needle valve as found on A and B Carbs.

Question: Does anyone know what the carburettor is, and whether anyone sells replacement parts for it?

Thanks to all,

Andrew

Allis Chalmers used these carburetors on their early model WC tractors. They had a slightly smaller venturi and did not have the GAV or high speed enrichment circuits that the Ford B used.
 
Looks like it is air balanced for an air cleaner. I have a Model A type Zenith that is like your B carb. It is not for an A or B though.
 
apbright: If you would like another Model B carb base, let me know, I have several for which I don't have an upper (it's free). Let me know if you'd like a B-1 or a B-2.
 
OT; Even the Zenith Model A clone carb used on the Gleaner combine and other equipment had an air balance tube for use with air cleaner, but no GVA.
