"Holley" cast inside carb bowl, and brass driver

This is a picture of a Zenith 2 I'm overhauling (Steve Pargeter's excellent book dates it to July 29 to May 30)- but its got "Holley" cast into the bowl- Not come across this before are there many like that stateside? Also it has a very nice brass choke driver- where's that originated from?

Zenith 2 is Holley, The brass driver is not rare so to speak, but you don't find them to often..Also Holley.

Can the brass driver be a pointer to the year? (The page of data in Steve Pargeter's book lists the driver as steel right thru' from 27 to 32) l
It's the fact that the name is cast inside the bowl that I find intriguing as despite having overhauled many A carbs I've never come across one with the name casting in the bowl before, is this a pointer to the year of the lower bowl- (again, no mention of that in Steve's book)

Until recently almost all of the reproduction drivers were brass and looked like the one in your picture.

Ah, you type quicker than me -I suspected the driver might be an aftermarket repro
