I think you are talking about carbs from a DOHC model. It isn't so much that they are newer, they are from a completely different engine. SOHC and DOHC XS400 are different bikes with the same name, and have almost no parts in common.
DOHC and SOHC carbs do not interchange directly. I am not sure if there is a way to make them work. Maybe?
