Without going out to the shop this early in the morning and looking it up, I'd say it's a Marine unit, maybe even a side mounted electric choke model for a Volvo Penta....but not sure till I run the number on it......Cliff

Marine carburetors are more application specific than any other q-jet.  They are designed to be used on engines that work very hard most of their life.  Most will not even have provisions to provide vacuum to the distributor as Marine engines don't use it.  Very few even used PCV systems.

The Marine units have decent value in the used market as they are becoming difficult to obtain, and the "generic" Marine units sold on Ebay and other sights for the most part aren't worth two squirts of duck poop!.....IMHO.....Cliff

This one is listed on local C/L 25.00 and has been rebuilt about 5yrs ago and has not been used so I don't have any use for it but curious what it actually fit . Thanks so much for checking on it .
