Default ID these Heads

I am going through some early flathead parts I bought and found this pair of 21 stud heads. Both have Ford script and have casting dates of Nov 38 and July 39. I figure they are replacement heads from the casting dates. My question is what do they fit? Are they for a specific year or generic 34-36? I have no use for them and would like to move them along and be able to accurately describe them. Plese tell me what you think.

thank you
PML

For use with domed or flat top pistons?

I think this is all the styles of heads.

Domed on the left, FT on the right. I have all 3 styles.

The cast iron, domed set, came on my rebuilt, '37 engine. I'm guessing that's what you have.

They will fit and function on any '32-'37 V8 engine with flat top pistons, but being cast iron they were originally released for use on commercial vehicle/truck engines starting in late 1933.
