Default Carter AFB identification

I have a carter AFB that came with my 63 340. The carb has a tag on it which has 3461S on it and the numbers on one of the feet on the base are 3720SB and B7 which I am assuming to be the date code.

The JG that I have shows a 3721S or SA for a 64 327 300. That's the closest application I can find for the ID.

Does anybody know what it is I have? Size/applicaation? It looks like all the pics I have of a 3461S but I don't believe the tag as it just bolts on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A 3720SB is a '64 carb from a 327/300 with a PG. The tag was evidently switched. Or, the top of the '63 carb might have been bolted to the '64 base, who knows? I believe that the 300 and 340 hp carbs were the same.
My '63 340 hp carb has no tag, but the base does have 3461S on it.

Yes, they are dated on the base. Mine says BA3 on it.

B7 on the base is February, 1967 (service replacement).
