Default 32-36 Heads Puzzle

A pair of 1932-36 aluminum cylinder heads has turned up, but there are no cast-in numbers or Ford script. There is a suggestion of Canadian origin.

What is the real answer?

Thanks chaps,
Neil.

Canadian heads had made in Canada cast right on them. I would suggest aftermarket.

Sounds like a pair of '33 heads. Part numbers weren't added until the '33 version of the cast iron heads were released. Ford script wasn't added to any of the cylinder heads until August, 1934, almost near the end of '34 production in the U.S.
