Default # 48 heads

i bought a 1970 ram air engine that had been removed from a 24k mile 70 t/a years ago due to a spun rod bearing . It had a set of #48 heads that were both date coded H-20-8. My question is would these be very late 68 heads or very early 69 heads? I thought yearly change over was either August or Sept.

#48 heads were used on 1969 engines, no exceptions.

Seems like Pontiac cast a lot of 48 heads in August of 68. They were used on 69 Firebirds and GTO's built that fall and likely into early 69 with 400HO or RAIII 4 speeds.
