Looks like you have a early 1976 F motor. The 1976 F serial numbers start at 2515094.
There should also be a 392 number cast into the cylinder head.

The carbs should fit whether it's an F or a K motor.

The carbs are the same, only the jets differ.

Including the needle and needle jet, not to say you can't make it work though, but the mains and clip positions are an easy do.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)
