Upon disassembly of my latest project, I discovered to my dismay that the "ears" on the float bowl cover had been broken off sometime in the long past. The screws would have (and did) held the cover on, but I could not in good concience pass on poor workmanship to some poor unsuspecting person...here's the process

I have never seen a carburetor like that one. Then I noticed on a couple parts it said Studebaker. Is that carb for a Stude?

yes, it's a Stromberg OE-1 that is uniquely jetted and branded specifically for Studebaker. The Studebaker cover is identical to standard Stromberg covers and are interchangeable.
It marries up with this project:
