Default TATA Head Bolts

Does anyone have photos or know what 78' or 79' w72 head bolt markings look like?

I had two on my TATA that had damage from someone putting exhaust bolts in that were too long so I bought a set off Ebay, supposedly a factory set from a 78' w72. The 78' head markings were different and had one more studded bolt than the ones pulled from the 79'. I'm trying to determine what would be correct for the TATA.

Thanks

Yes. I would appreciate it if you would check and see what head markings they have.

Replaced my 30 yr old head bolts with AARP when I rebuilt the engine on my 78 TA 6.6
