Default Help with head casting numbers please

Can anyone help me identify two sets of heads? The first set is casting number 241 and the second is casting number 853. I'm interested in what vechicle they originally came from (year / model).

Thanks

The 241's are 01-04 ls1
The 853's are also 01-04 ls1 but are also used on some 99-01's
