Earlier SU carbs had the copper dashpots like that, I've seen early 850s with them.

SU's pre Mini (maybe some REAL EARLY Mini's had em) had the copper/brass top ones. Take a look at early MG's.

My 1961 850 had a pair of 'em, when I bought it in `65.

I have an early Austin 1800 HS6 (1 3/4") SU that has the brass dashpot cap.
