Head Identification

I have a set of 302 heads from a D4 block that have Kidney shaped combustion chambers and "302" cast into them. How do i go about identifying what vintage these are. I've scoured all over them trying to find a casting date but haven't had much luck yet.

Any ideas?

Also whats the way to differentiate between closed and open chambered heads?

Apparently the casting is a D60E...which should be 76 heads. Hmm...now whats the combustion chamber CC's?

more likely than not 69cc....I have everything but a D6 listed but between 75 and 79 the other 302 heads were listed as 69, so they shouldn't be any different.. I wouldn't think.
