Carburettor kits for the Weber TLDM appear to be identical for the XR2i and HCS engines.

Greetings to all. I wish to communicate and seek counsel regarding my findings on carburettor kits for the Weber TLD (M). Several websites list carburettor kits designated as compatible with the XR2i and other Fiesta variants equipped with 1.3 and 1.1 HCS engines. However, upon examining the Haynes handbook, the carburettors appear to exhibit tiny variations. The XR2i version is the TLD, lacking the "M" at the end. The M version appears to be installed longitudinally based on my findings, suggesting that certain variants of the XR2i may have featured it.
Additionally, an examination of the specifications in the Haynes manual reveals minor discrepancies in nozzle dimensions and final calibrations. However, it is possible that the carburettors are fundamentally identical and that the same O-rings and gaskets are applicable.
Additionally, it is crucial to enquire about the diaphragms; many kits may lack these. Are the sizes identical between the TLD and TLDM models?

I sincerely appreciate your support and wish you all well.

The XR2i lacks a carburettor, so no carburettor will be compatible. The XR2i first employed the fuel-injected 1.6 CVH engine until transitioning to the 1.8 Zetec in the early 1990s. I'm pretty sure they were both EFI engines rather than the Bosch K-Jetronic that was used on the 1.6 CVH used for the XR3i up to 89. The 'I' in XR2i denotes injection; might it be that you are confusing the XR2 with the XR2i? The XR2 was equipped with a carburettor on the 1.6 CVH engine.

Indeed! I mistakenly conflated it with the 1.6 CVH; my apologies for the error.
Interestingly, a certain website includes "XR2" in its compatibility list, suggesting the existence of an earlier XR2 Mk2 Fiesta equipped with a carburettor.
