Carb Question

My '68 F250 4x4 / 390-4 speed needs a carb rebuild or replacement. Problem is, I can't find any identification numbers on the carb. It looks like my choices are either the Ford 2150 2-bbl or the Holley 4150 2-bbl. Any ideas how to i.d. the carb?
Thanks.

Ford it is. Thanks.
BTW: Any thoughts on a replacement carb...this one has enough missing / rigged parts that I think it might be worth it. Looks like a standard re-manufactured runs about $130.

A rebuild kit is about $15 and you can probably find a core at the junkyard with all the missing parts you need for $5. Couple cans of carb cleaner $5 and rebuilding it is a snap.
