Odd indeed.

The 1600 carbs are held on by two studs

The 2000 carbs are held on by four studs.

Does it look like someone tried to "port" the manifold for the
bigger carbs at one time? Still wouldn't explain the difference
in length.

Yep, if you can't see the extra studs... time to steam clean
that engine!
