Question 1971 360 head identification

Hey,
I just bought this 1971 Custom F100 2WD 360. I'm just sure that the engine has never been rebuilt before I laid my greasy hands on it. The heads have two different casting numbers: C8AE-H on the right, and C8TE-6090-G on the left. (WTF!?)

Is the one on the left a CJ? Or is it just a replacement head? Could it have been produced that way?



Any thoughts appreciated.

Heads are virtually identical. Should be no problem to run them together.

Could it be possible that the engine had to have a head replaced and the engine other than that is original? Just a thought
