I think that the question is less difference in models and more in the state of tune. Twin-carbs use more fuel than singles because they normally get driven with more oomph. And from reading the portfolios it seems that consumption has been increasing with time. The PV 444 got 40 mpg on one test.

I can't really answer for myself because my carbs need balancing, there's something wrong with the choke, and so I get 20 mpg (British!!) on stop and start journeys.

Annual report: " Can do better"
