Not sure tbh if there is a difference between the f and k boxes, not the plenum chamber but those you’ve pictured. Looks like that’s a 550f to me and has all the parts, unusually.

Oddjob:
Correction, should have 2 tall wingnut type nuts holding the snorkel 🤿 n the top. Not pictured but you may already have them.

Towsejames:
I just heard that there is a difference between the filters. And that the F airbox works better with the 069A carbs?

The filter difference is between the 500 and 550 and not just the modle

The 550 recirculates crank case gases to the middle of the air filter, for some reason the filters clog with oily residue

F and K are very different for the 77/78 K
