John, your carburetor is a mix of parts, the EE-22 was used in 1933 and 1934, and the EE-23 superceded it for later years. Also the Eight used a smaller version than the Super Eight (smaller venturi size). The EE series was also used by Buick, Chrysler, Nash, Studebaker, Lincoln, Hupmobile, & Graham and each had their own specs, jet sizes, etc. so there are many variants. What you have is certainly a mongrel but it may perform OK, most important is that it is properly sized to the engine. Your venturi size should be 1-3/32 (may be marked - look down the bore); if it's marked 1-3/16 it's from a Super Eight. The internal parts like jets are marked with part numbers so you check and see what you have, but my suggestion would be to clean it thoroughly, set the float height etc. to specs and then see how it performs. If there are issues, we can go from there.
