1970 3 Hp Eska/Tecumseh Carburator Question

[Windchime]

I am working on a 1970 Eska 3 HP outboard with a Tecumseh power head, and I am trying to identify the carburator specifically so that I can buy the correct parts. I have the Tecumseh Technician's Handbook, but this carburator appears to be just a little different than those shown in the manual, so I thought I would ask. The only number I can find on the body of the carburator is 394 0016. Does that mean anything to anyone?

what we need is the engine model number, on a tag should read 6xx-xx, unless its a diaphragm carb or has the old viton tipped needle most parts are all the same

Here's what I could find on the engine:
A small gray plate on the side says T-642-13, then beneath that the number 6272729

On the ID Plate it says 217-58540, serial no. 105649
