(unless I have something different to what I was told )

Look like early Legacy heads, with the weird adjusters.

Best advice, forget them, and get something better.

Marc I,
Very early Jap market Legacy heads with the twin bolt coil packs as Mark said above.
Rocker arm operated Hydraulic Lifters too - stay well away from them.
Quite a bit of Tarnish inside the heads also,so could be high mileage heads or lack of oil changes.
