Head marking question

I bought a set of heads off ebay that were reported to be Chevrolet LS1 stock heads. The markings on the heads read E287 908 E147 908. I am unsure if I have gotten the real deal or not. Can anyone please help if these markings make sense.

Thanks,

Is there a casting number on the outside up near the right front corner when looking at the exhaust side of the head?

Also, one givaway is the cathedral intake port.

"241" castings on the head indicate stock LS1 heads.
