The swing axle only has one boot, at the tranny side,
whereas the IRS has two boots, tranny and at the wheel
side as well.

Are there 4 total boots (IRS) or 2 (swing)?

If the air cleaner is flat and spans the width between
both carbs, odds are they are Solex, therefore '67. If
there are two separate paper air cleaners, odds are
it's a different carb, not stock, which only furthers
the mystery. Check various photos or drawings of
engines to let us know what it looks like.
