Did any 914-6 engine come original with Zenith carbs?

When I look at the Porsche 914 Factory Parts Catalogue, it appears to list only two carburetor part numbers (left and right) which are 40 IDT Weber.

We acquired an engine that is 914-6 correct number range, but has Zenith 40 TIN on it. Is there any chance they are correct? I'm guessing someone just didn't care about originality, and threw them on there.

Thank you.

If I remember correctly, there are a number of Solex parts that work in Zenith carbs. I remember using Zeniths on a number of 914-6 conversions and they worked well. Used Solex jets and other bits, maybe even venturies? Local VW speed shop at the time stocked bunch of Solex stuff that worked.
