I have a 1981 XS400 Special. It came with two sets of carbs that the previous owner assumed were the same (and so did I, due to less than due diligence during my purchasing process). I've since noticed some subtle differences and I'm hoping someone can identify which set of carbs are the stockers. Pics below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
From what I can tell the set without the weird thing in the middle should work for 80-81 models.The one with the weird thing in the middle IDK honestly could be an older set like from 75 up to 78.If theres a model number on those carbs you can try google and search them out that may tell you.
 
The one with the brass bolt on the bottom is from a 77-79 xs400 and the other is off an 81:)(80-82 stile) Both are bs34's
