Mike,
Originally, the tags would have been
AUD 18F - front
AUD 18C - center
AUD 18R - rear
They are available from Todd Clarke at Clarke Spares -

AUD 618 is a single HS-4 carb fitted to the 1973 Mini 998 for Canada. The
specs call for a different needle and jet, piston springs are the same.
I'd replace the jet assembly. Leaking fuel above a hot exhaust system
isn't desirable. And it hurts your gas mileage too :)
