Default Head ID help

These came with that funky double stamped 4 bolt block I posted yesterday. Couldn’t find any stamps or markings other than the GP numbers shown. One ends in 0783 and the other in 0773. One head is marked with sharpie “R” so I assume left and right heads. Anybody have any idea where these came from ? Thanks a bunch !

China made "E-Bay" head.......really no telling who made it as there were a dozen different foundries that cast these....some were machined here and some were not.

If you are going to use those heads then carefully research the valve train components on it. My understanding is that while the heads aren't bad, the included valve train was usually junk.

10-4 guys. Thanks for the help. I will either have my machinist go through them or buy some AFRs.
