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 :)
