Well, the wire mesh screen on top keeps the big chunks from making it
through. And the sediment bowl (which we call the early TR filter bowl
too) should catch a lot before it goes past to the carb using the
incredible powers of gravity. :) I had a '47 Willys CJ2A for a couple
years that had a similar pump and sediment bowl but the bowl was *above*
the pump. Never made sense to me, since the sediment was constantly
stirred up or settled on the inlet and outlet. Perhaps that pump was
installed upside down now that I think of it, but trouble with that fuel
pump and a new baby were the two reasons I sold it. (LBC content: I
traded a TR6 project car for the Willys, and stashed the money from the
Willys for the TR4 I bought when the new baby was a few years older).
Your white filter elements are a bit before my time but I do have a
paper filter that installs inside a glass sediment bowl and that doubles
as the cork gasket. I've been carrying it in my spares bag but can't
find it right now to give you a number. But a regular filter in front of
the carbs is much easier to check and to change than a filter in the
sediment bowl.
