Carter Carb ID for rebuild kit

Hey guys. Sorry for so many questions.

This time I'm inquiring about finding the right and proper rebuild kit for our carburetor.
The car model is an MP2, with a 2BBL carburetor, automatic transmission.

I will attach all the pictures I have. One of the problems we have is that we are in Canada and it seems most kits come from the states, and when this is getting rebuilt, we can't wait weeks for other parts of the kit we order isn't quite correct for the model of carb we actually have.
Looking at pictures is looks like a Carter BBD.

There are two tags on the carb, the original and an Autolite tag on top of it. The original tags third letter is not distinguishable. So the only real way from the service manual is to know what transmission this car has, I assume?
In the service manual it lists carb models for "overdrive", "manual" and "Powerflite". Our car has 5 pushbuttons. From top to bottom is DNR21, and we were under the belief we have a Torqueflite transmission.

A three speed (forward) automatic for MoPar is indeed a Torqueflite. The Powerflite is a two speed automatic.

I'd get in touch with Mike's Carburetors - these guys are the best: https://www.carburetor-parts.com/

They can help you out if you send them the pix, or will ask you the right questions to help identify.

For what it's worth, the Parts Manual makes no distinction between Torqueflite and Powerflite. It looks like 2866S is your bad boy. Unless, of course, the rules are different for Canadian Plymouths.
