I remember seeing some other LD4B intakes with Chrysler part numbers on them, but mine did not. Was that a D Dart thing, or a over the counter MoPar sold intake?

There was an early Edelbrock LD4B intake for the 273 and sometimes you can find them in Ebay. Yes, many of the LD4B and six-pack intakes were available with factory part numbers and available over the counter. The "D" Dart intake was a single plane intake, not a dual plane. Same intake used in the marine application engines.
