Only the 150 CD was used on the "rootes" alpine.
The later carbs employed various temperature compensation and
idle fuel trim schemes, that might be nice for function, but
certainly make the carbs look different plain jane 150 CD carbs.

The overhaul kits should work correctly, but if it comes with
needles or jets, they will need to be verified to be the same
as what belongs in the your alpine, later carbs and different
engine configurations needed different profiles on the needles.
