I had heard, although I have no evidence of this myself, that the main visible distinction between Lucas distributors made for RR and the sd1 is the location of the vacuum advance module on the distributor body. There is said to be a difference.

I would be inclined therefore to go for the one designated 'efi' as you indicated. Using carbs will not be a problem. You can always have the distibutor regraphed to suit the application if you wish.
