If they look like the Moss illustration, then they are H6 carbs with the
later push-on connectors.  I don't believe there was a 'clean' crossover
date, but TS39781LO had the push-on connectors as well.

Although they still have domes & bowls somewhat like the H6, the choke &
throttle arrangements for the HS6 are considerably different.  There is an
illustration in the Moss TR2-4 parts book, a few pages later than the H6
page.

And HIF6 don't even have external float bowls (instead the bowls are built
into the bottom of the carb, somewhat similar to ZS carbs).
