You can also tell by the number of head studs.
1296 and 1500 have 10
1147 have 11
If the 6 port head is bolted on it is a 1147 engine
If not bolted on and the block has 11 studs it is a 1147 block
To answer your question, yes (almost, as do the 948's).

Subject: [Fot] Spitfire Heads 1147 vs. 1296
It's my understanding that no 1296 Spitfire motors have 6-port heads and
that only 1147s have 6-port heads. Is that correct?
We're looking at a spare motor which the seller swears is an 1296, but which
has a 6-port head.
