Early Vitesse 6 (Sports 6) 1600cc engines with the odd semi-downdraft  
Solexes also used that expansion tank. Heralds didn't, unless someone  "borrowed" an 
early Spitfire engine and radiator to essentially replicate the  twin-carb 
option.

That too;  HS4.

Sorry, not a match...the board goes back. ;-)
 
Actually, they are HS2 carburetors (the number stands for eighths of an  inch 
-- plus 1 inch. So a 1.25" carburetor is an HS2 (there were also  H2s).
