Rebuild solex fintail carbs - advise wanted

Hi have a 1963 220S (and a 1960 220S) that both seem to have the same pair of Solex carbs. I can't identify the carbs other than inside one of the barrels I can see 32 23. Which I assume is the diameters of the barrels.

I realize that this is a stupid question but can someone point me to the correct rebuild kits for these carbs? The 1963 is a car that was parked for 10 years that I have brought back to life. It runs pretty well except it clearly lacks the accelerator pump functionality that it should have. The 1960 is a parts car, but oddly enough the engine on that car runs pretty well too.

I'm assuming the carbs are the same between 1960 and 1963, although that is based on observation. I thought that I had read that earlier cars had smaller carbs... Anyway, pictures attached of both sets...

The 1960 carbs look a little nicer only because it seems that someone spray painted them silver...
