If they were say, 7025075 and 7025078, they would be correct for a 1965 421 tripower engine w/MT. The 702 tells us the general vintage, the 5 is the year. The 7 is for Pontiac division of GM and an Olds carb here, would be a 5. The last number usually (but not always) gives an indication of manual or auto trans equipped engine that it's on. I've forgotten what that other number (on a 2-barrel) means.
I purchased a set of “1965 Pontiac GTO Tripower Carburetor Identification Tags, Manual Transmission” from Inline Tube. Nice 389 TriPower w/manual transmission repops.
