Cars fitted with the 4-speed gearbox started coming off the production line in September 1932, so, yes, there would have been plenty of 3-speed cars still in the dealership network in October. Your car would have originally been fitted with the zinc 22FZB carb, but as these have a nasty habit of disintegrating with age, the bronze FZ carb would have been sourced, probably from a scrapyard, in more recent times.
