Need help identifying my Holley carb

It's a 4 barrel off of my 76 280C.
By the electric choke it has the number 6R 5732B.
Stamped on the top on the body of the carburetor are the numbers
L8874 and 1639
I went to NAPA, I went to Summit Racing and nobody seems to find this carb anywhere. I went on the Holley site and also to another site that offers the complete listings of all the Holley carbs made, nothing.

Thank you very much in advance.

Let me dig around for a day or two. I've got the same carb and I got a rebuild kit for it a couple of years ago. Just need to find the receipt.

I think I figured it out.
The L8874 number is the "R" number, otherwise known as the "List" number. It should be either and "R" or the word "List" before the number, am guessing maybe they used "L" sometimes?
Anyways, this makes sense, if it is "List" number 8874, it is a Holley Economaster 4360 carb, which sounds like it is often used to replace the original troublesome Solex carb
See if this looks familiar:

Confirmed there are other 4360 carbs that have an L instead or an R
