Simon,

I always thought the Lagonda engines end up in the Astons but now they are missing there too..

I only can add another photo from my Lagonda DB 3ltr carbs from above (silencer removed). The Aston should look the same, it simply had no silencer but the little air filters instead.
I added a pull back spring on an arm in the middle of the two carbs because they did not go fully back in idle, maybe need a complete refurbishment later.

Burlen has the right parts for the Lagonda 3ltr. carbs

you can compare to the ones they supply for the Aston DB2

much the same but e.g. different needle

your pair with long necks are certainly not from a postwar Lagonda or Aston
