As I recall from looking at them, the 120/140 gascolators I've seen look to be the same as the one on my ragwing 170.
Glass bowl, mounted bowl-up, glass resembles an inverted dome.

From the description it sounds like the same one. The 170 IPC I checked was for 1952 and up. I know the early ragwings used the same fuel valve as the 140.
