Thank you both.
John, there is some obvious roughness at the bottom of the bowl so there might be something in that as I have never found the mixture screw to make any difference.
Ian: at least I know I am not going mad, that was the one I was thinking about but for some reason couldn't find.
So, been back in the garage to check.
Strangely what I have on the car (as purchased 15 years ago) is a mismatch from R's photos. I have a single tube top and 2 uneven length tubes underneath (my picture above right), whereas it seems this top should have a 'bowl' style under the bowl.
The spare carb from Holmesdale is unsurprisingly right in every aspect. It has 2 tubes top and 2 even length tubes under (as per R's picture).
I think I shall bite the bullet and swap the whole thing over. Need to get some high temp silicon sealant first for the banjo.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
