Yes, the 1 1/32 are 48's, the 1 1/32 is the venturi size. It appears to be an early Miller, with much of the info ground off the cover. All of the carbs pictured are Strombergs, no Holley 94's are seen. 94's are newer, and maybe a better carb but are harder to tune when used in multiples. I would use any of the Strombergs. These engines will take big carbs, I have run three 97's on my OHV Cook, and currently run three 81's on my BRIERLEY flathead in my speedster, all have run well. For average street use, 97's may be the best choice, but any of them will work fine. IMO, two of the 81's are too small, but OK for touring. Stock jets will likely work the best.
