Not mine. Perhaps not original, but my car seems to match

If that's what you really want, put in an advance diaphragm. It's
the same thing except the vacuum connection is on the other
side.
Although there would be gains to be made from a new
curve, it would have to be thought out a bit. I doubt it would
be optimal to simply switch to some other distributor
or swap the vacuum unit.
