Lightbulb Carburetor Identification

I have done a bit of looking around in old threads, researching different types of carburetors and trying do distinguish one from another. I have gathered that there are Kohler, Walbro, and Carter. Are there any others? Am I wrong in guessing that the replacement engines were not the same carbuerator brand as the engines that were from the factory? Or does it just depend on the model/year? I have viewed several threads and I have been thinking...If someone would volunteer to write up a detailed review of all of the carbs and identifying marks on each.This could be a video opportunity if someone may be interested in doing so. I just thought it would be a nice addition to the video part of the forum. Like many previous threads, I have also been researching rebuild kits for several carbs, and I want to get the correct kit for each. Also I am wondering about interchangeability between carbs size and engine sizes. On my 72 ( K161 )I have from what i believe to be a #20 kohler because it has 20 cast in the throat of the carb. My cousin's 122 has no identification in the throat of the carb, and he has a replacement engine. The sticker is worn too much to tell the model of the engine, but it seems to be a 12hp because the power is a touch more than my low hour 10hp. I plan on having many, many, many more cubs in my lifetime and through this site my passion and knowledge for cubs is greater than ever. I am a visual learner and as everyone says.... this forum is no good without pictures. Sorry for the ramble, let me know what you think.
