I have the same thing on my dual carb converted '69 Fastback. When I was tuning it up and balancing the carbs last weekend, I noticed the -2 and -3 designation on the carbs. The first thing that came to mind was that I had an unmatched set of carbs too! Thinking that would partially explain why they were sooooo far out of sync. Now, reading all these posts, I think that maybe they are correct. They do have a definite left and right side orientation. Regards, Tom Cloud '69 Bug '69 Fastback!
