Default Fuel Pump in earlier V8s

Hello,

reading this thread made me wonder if I knew anything about the fuel pump
installed on my 409, and the answer was negative. I was quite sure that I
didn't see any mechanical pump in the engine bay so I asked to the guys at
the body shop (where my 409 sits now for some minor work) to check into the
boot. In fact the pump is there, exactly as described by Sam on his 410, and
looks like a double pump. This is a picture of my pump:

I cannot see any numbers on it because it is installed in a position where
is not very easy to check; I would like to ask if anybody has any idea of
what model this pump might be and what could be the correct replacement for
this pump. Maybe an 'electronic' pump might be better? I have checked Burlen
site:

to find several types of double pumps, but I couldn't decide what would the
right choice be for my 409. high or low pressure? Points or electronic?

Thanks, as usual, for your help,

Stefano
