[Too Many Projects]

I am guessing it was done by a rebuilding company when they "restored" a carb for someone but needed to use the body off something else.

Oh yeah ... I lost the sticker so now I have no idea what it once was or what it became

Maybe not worth the effort, but you could try wet sanding with 400 on a small block and see if the deeper, original numbers will highlight thru the scratches.
