Welcome Guvna, Russrolla.. 😎

The Weber 32/36 looks like this . . . which looks to me, very similar to yours, from what I can see. Does it have an adaptor plate underneath it, to match it to the original K Series inlet manifold ? The other thing to check with the Weber, is what size main & idling jets have been fitted, to this particular Weber. I've got little or no experience with the Weber adaption to K Series motors; but the ones I have seen on-line, were side draft Webers; & I think there was a special inlet manifold for them for K series motors. There maybe someone on here, that has this setup, & can advise what size jets they fitted. In theory, you should be able to fit the carby either way around. It really comes down at to which side of the carby, the accelerator cable is fitted. The K Series cable pulls, to open the throttle, but in the case of the Weber 32/36 you have, it looks like it would have to push to open; so they have turned it 180 degrees. Hope that makes sense. A year or so ago, I took the fuel tank out of my 1974 2 door KE30, with the intention of fitting an in tank high pressure fuel pump, for EFI, & also building a better fuel guage sensor. What I was not prepared for, was how much "crud" builds up in the bottom of the tank over 40+ years. I went to great lengths to clean it out with acid, & other techniques, & it may well be, a good idea, to remove your tank, & do similar, if necessary. One thing I have learnt over the years; that those suction fuel pumps right up at the engine; are not real good at pulling fuel over such a long run, especially if the fuel filter is a bit blocked, or the lines are a bit choked, or have a tiny leak in them. For this reason, lots of people seal off the fuel pump hole on the side of the block, & fit an electric pump, down near the tank, so the lines from the back to the front of the car; are under pressure, rather than vacuum.
