Carburetor Identification

I'm having some trouble identifying these carburetors on my mom's MGB. It's a 79-80 year I think. She had a swap done with an MG motor that had a dual carb setup. One, if not both, needs a rebuild (I think the mechanic said the float valve was bent or something to that effect) and I need to know what model it is before I buy the rebuild kit. I see it says SU carb on it, but are there different variations of the SU carb or just one? (See picutres) And would a rebuild be the best, most cost-efficient way to go? Also, I wanted to know what the white handle is by the steering wheel. (see picture) Thanks is advance.

The handle is for the vent. If you follow the handle you will see it connected to a metal flap. If you don't have one already, you should get a Bently repair manual. The repair manual includes a copy of the owner's manual.

The carbs are SU HS-4. There are sveral models of HS-4, newer 68-71 HS-4 used spring loaded metering needles, earliers cars used fixed metering needles. Other than needles, HS-4 parts should interchange.
