That's two silly mistakes! Mine was first....assembling them incorrectly!
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

Either way something just does not look correct in the pic.

I could certainly be wrong, but to me they are from either 77 or the non emissions 78 carbs. 3 of which are vm26 and one vm28. The pic which shows the engine side of the carbs makes me think they are 26s
Again if you can read the ID stamp maybe able to provide more info.

What needles were in the carbs when you pulled them apart?

Rebuilders seldom replace the jet needles or needle jets so this is one way (but not the only one) to identify the year.
1977 (A1) O6 needle jets and 5CN8-3 needles. Pilots and mains were one size larger than 1978.
1978 (A2) O5 needle jets and 5DL31-3 needles. 15 pilots and 105 mains.
1977 LTD was the same as 1978 A2.
