Yes the numbers 19, 20, & 21 cast above the mounting hole is an external, with heads on engine and valve covers installed, clue that the heads are likely original Hipo heads. Some service heads did not have this feature.

Always double check the other features that should accompany this details since some have taken it upon themselves to fake heads by adding the number to non-HiPo heads in some rare examples
