The Stromberg-Bendix NR-A series of carburetors was common in the early years of aviation. The NA-R3 would have been one of the smallest of the type produced that still had a manual mixture control. Engines like the Continental A40 and A50 might have used it. The Lycoming O-145 and Franklin 4AC 150 are other candidates. The Continental A65 engines had a 4-bolt carb flange.

Marvel-Schebler pretty much took over the small aviation carb business in the modern era.
