Different carb float bowls

I discovered that my Jota series 2 project has different float bowls to all my other Laverdas. The form is different, and the internal passage as well. They fit, and look to be functionally equivalent.
Does anyone know anything about them?
I know I have to use different nuts.
I think they are much newer than the carbs. Came out of the ultrasonic bath nice and shiny.

Delordos were used on heaps of different bikes over the years, as an example my old 1992 350 Husky had one. One great mod on them was replacing that Del's float bowl with one from a 2000 model Husky that had a built-in overflow outlet that allowed fuel to spill out of the bike on a tip-over instead of into the bike making it hard to start. Some Del bowls used a much larger hold-on bolt so the main jet had more fuel around it. Try sending Ducati Paddy the pics, he knows his Delodos.
 
Steve,

You will also find that the main jet holder is different and the main jet is somewhat recessed, allowing for the flatter, larger float bowl plug. Perhaps a measure to make the carb slightly more compact? While the internal passages in the bowl are re-routed, function remains the same.
