I don't have one apart to check the casting number, but that airhorn looks like one from the 1959/60 389 "E" carb.

These carburetors, with a small increase in the idle jet, and or course different main jetting, work well for the individual wanting tripower, but not wanting to spend the funds for numbers matching.

Have sold a lot of them over the decades.
