Confirming what carbs, '80 kz650

So I've got the carbs off the bike and the bowles off the carbs.
I have a single fuel inlet, single pump on the #2 carb bowl WITHOUT the second pump diaphragm and cap.
From what I've read that means that I have the vm28's, sound right?
I need a bowl gasket and one of the impossibly tiny wire clips for the accelerator pump check valve.
Looking for gaskets and rebuild kits I see several for '77-79 kz650 but nothing for the '80 f1.
Anybody got a line on those parts?
I'm also still looking for a service manual to download for the 1980 kz650.

No more of that talk or I'll put the leeches on you, understand?

Looks like they do list 2 part numbers for the bowl gasket.

I'll take some when I get home, I took pictures of the bowls but not the bodies.
The clips on this page looks like what I'm after!

Also need a bowl gasket and I'm waiting for my megaphone baffle so I can figure out jets and needle height.
The needle is marked 5cl30 and is adjusted with shims I'm guessing?

My 81 650-csr w VM24s has the accelerator pump w triangular flange but it doesn't have the vacuum sensor stuff.
