You do not have Weber DCNF's on that motor, more likely a pair of single throat Solex's.
The engine code for that block should be stamped near the distributor on the inside of the block. It's hard to see, but it really doesn't matter. 99% of the parts you need are available for that engine. For the carburetors, they too should be stamped on the main body. It'll be pretty obvious, though you may need a flashlight and a mirror to see it. Look for the flattest section on the body (the fuel bowl) and that's where it'll be - on the side.
