MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Cylinder head casting marks

Does anybody out there have a cylinder head from a MGB V8 which is off the engine?
As part of research for a MG book we are seeking details of all the marks cast on a V8 cylinder head. These marks are produced by the factory casting moulds.
Any help appreciated.

Michel,

Thanks for that photo. Photos of any other casting marks would be appreciated.
You have confirmed the first fact, the cylinder heads were cast by the Birmingham Aluminium Company.

Merci,
Mick

Mick - You need the MG OE head castings ?

A group of us are researching the sources of various MG parts. Initially this is for the MGA and then extending to the MGB.
Casting marks used by the foundry companies are a valuable source. The photo posted by Michel gives me the main information for the alloy head on the MGB V8. It was made by the Birmingham Aluminium Company.
That is all we need at this time. The book on the MGA is scheduled for early 2005, then we start in earnest on the MGB.
Has anyone knowledge of a foundry in the UK that used the letters AM as their mark?
