You have a Carter WE carburetor. I just did a random search for such and found a carburetor repair kit for it. The info I found says that the WE series was used from 1936 to 1956 and was also used on some Chevrolets. It was used on Commanders from 1938 - 1950.

I have 3 50 Commanders and they all have the Stromberg BXOV26 carbs on them. Studebaker used both the Stromberg and the carter WE627s in 1950. They used the Carter WE on a lot of champion engines. When you get a carb kit you will have to state the model carb you have
