look like standard Keihin cb750 carbs to me...used from '71-76...they had various id numbers through out the years, but the only difference was main jetting...what year bike and what original equipment will determine which jets to try first
If it works good, it looks good...

thanks!  i also googled some images and they look like 657A carbs.  Not what I need.

The guy selling them is asking $50 (cash, pickup)

That's worth buying anyway. Clean them /rebuild them and re sell them at a profit. Or sell them to a member at cost + shipping. Full sets in that shape like that are getting harder to find for $50.

Duanod is correct but I would look inside the bowls first. I have PDs I think there should be some markings on the bodies??

Ebay has a few sets for about 50 right now in similar shape.  I'm currently rebuilding my CVs from my DOHC and my PDs from the '78 750 i picked up, so I'm balls deep in carbs right now.
