I have found that my local motor superstore can order
suitable filters in any brand you like.

CD-150 is correct. CD4 sounds like a typo. SU calls their carb
sizes with a single number, 4 means 1.5 inches. ZS uses the number
like 150 or 175 for 1.5 and 1.75 inches respectively.
Sounds like somebody was "thinking" SU when they wrote that
line calling it a CD4.
