Goofy Carter carb stamping and no mnfg date? see pics

[63409425HP]

I picked this set of carbs up off ebay a few months back and got such a deal i really didn't hesitate and just pulled the trigger on the purchase. The roll stamping doesn't look like any stamps I've seen in person or in photos, A date code is not present on one the carbs and appears the S is stamped upside down. The other carb has a date on it but does not seem to line up with anything in the Chevrolet by the numbers book. The date and carb number are also stamped on the same line where as every other carb seems to have number on top date code on bottom. The date code is F7B june of '67? then what would the B represent? 2nd week? That just don't seem right.

What do you guys think? Seen carbs stamped like these before? No triangle metal tags on them either.

Kinda looks like someone ground off the original stamp in the second picture and put there own numbers on it.

And they put the S upside down .

yes I was thinking the same thing. You can see scratch marks in it and the 3 and the 6 seem to be over stamped on top of another 3 and a 6

Factories have been known to do that too so I say the verdict is still out.

Ok appreciate it. Wasn't sure if this was a anomolie or if something funny was done and restamped or something.

The first one is 1967 dated.
