Yes you're correct Trigger, looks like they've tried to drift the emulsion tube out...rather unsuccessfully!
It's no.4 carb I need but having all the spares might come in handy, I didn't expect this to be plain sailing, twice as many carbs as my xs😆
DomP:
I thought the keihin 069a were a more commonly used carb? Barely any or their parts on Ebay

You drift the tube out from the other end, needle side ;) If it was plain sailing, you would be bored by now ::) Having a spare set usually works out cheaper in the long run.

The earlier carbs are more available from imported bike being broken for spares ;)

True, plenty to keep my occupied this winter I think. A full spare set in decent condition could be a godsend actually, I'll message the ebay link you sent me to check their condition under the bowls. Thanks for your help too!
