Default side exhaust questions help please

A few questions on side exhaust with pictures.
1st. Are these pipes for a big block or small block?
2nd. How can you tell original from Paragon reproduction covers?
3ed. Are these numbers on the covers GM or are they on the repro's also?

Thanks for any help!

I don't know for sure, but I thought the BB manifolds exit at an angle,
while the SB manifolds exit straight down.
From the picture, I'd guess SB pipes.

Cover Qs: not sure. I have an original 69 set at home, if you need
some info or pics. PM if you do.

They look like they're for a small block but I can't 100% garauntee that. They look a bit anemic for a big block.
