Carburetor Bowl ID?

I'm sorting some parts, and need an identification. The #1 bowl fits a Holley NH center drain body. Its OD is 2⅞". #2, also 2⅞", fits the NH side drain body. Bowl #3 is a hair wider, at 2²⁹⁄₃₂" OD. Note the bigger center hole. It fits the Kingston L-4. Bowl #4 has me up a row of stumps. Its OD is 3⅛", and doesn't fit any carb I've dug up so far. Note the different shape of the side drain location. I have several like it, so I expect it's something fairly common.

#2 & 3 look like a Kingston L4 But the hole in #3 is much larger
#4 a Holley G ?
What are any bowls brass?

No, none of them is a G. That's 3⅜" wide and has a much bigger hole.

Steve, even if you can't identify it, you should bring it along with your other rebuilt carbs, it might not be for a Model T but might be just the thing for someone with a carb for another make.
BTW, I have several extra of those Kingston L4 air flapper valves if you need some.

Not trying to hijack your thread Steve but if you, or anybody, needs for future reference here are all the bowls except one from the later (1912 an up) carburetors.

The 4 ball bowl with the petcock near the fuel inlet is missing.
