Default Branch backing plate

I'm looking for a Branch flowmatics backing plate for a Mikuni VM38 carb. I've seen them on eBay but they all (at least now) state for Lectron or 40-44 Mikuni or just for a Harley Shovelhead. Can't get more info from the sellers. I know the carb openings are different diameters between the 44 & 38 but how about a adapter? The Shovel one looks like it's smaller dia, and closer to what I want. But?? Any incite here?

have that on my 74ch and had the same on the 74fx. same thing.
the size pertain to the venturi and not to the inlet opening. if in doubt, google the carb in question to get specifics. adapters, sure, anything is possible.
