They're HIF4s not 38s - I've just popped a NOS set onto a modern alloy inlet for use on Betty. I obtained a 60s Alexander inlet at a show last summer (which leterally had my name on it...) and got caught out by the different diagonals. With hindsight I could have used 4-bolt spacers to make up an adaptor but didn't think of it until I'd finished with the new one.
Interesting mods required to get the linkages to work as the spacing between them is wider on a B-Series MGB than an A-Series.

Take off the dashpot and remove the needle it will be stamped with 3 letters and you will know what to order.
Needles usually last forever why do you want to replace it?
You should be able to set up the carb with the current set up unless you have a very worn throttle shaft or jet.

if the float bowl is beside the carb, it’s an HS
if you don’t see a float bowl.... it’s an HIF
My 89 Jap MINI had an HS4.... I’m guessing yours does also

a high compression engine.
The two carbs I think you might be trying to sort would be an internal float bowl (HIF) and the external float bowl. (HS I believe) The external float bowl sits to the side of the carb and the rubber fuel line will attach to it.
That should be enough to ID your carb.
Pretty sure there's a chart here on MM in maybe the tech section to ID your engine.
