What is an "EQ 9626 SA " stamped carb exatly?

The original Competition Series carbs had a number that started with a '4'. I have heard some of these later models, 9XXX, also had the 'Competition Series' moniker on the air horn but they were emissions carbs with emission ports, elec choke & leaner jetting.

Maybe "down there", but that 9636 is a classic Carter Competition series aftermarket AFB. I've had a lot of them.
