Only aftermarket heads were available with angle plugs.

I believe there was a GM angle plug head available, but it was counter only, not factory installed. so essentially aftermarket with a GM part number on it.

if this question is related to your prior question about headers, you do not have to worry about angle plug heads, you do not have them.
