I have this booklet that was published by the factory and later reprinted by TRF, describing the different cylinder head configurations fitted up to TS13052E in 1957. The Le Mans heads are rare.

According to this guy, there was a variation in the thermostat housing, some of which were more sloping than rounded.  He claimed the sloped design was more attractive as it lended itself to more shaving and thus a better, high compression engine.
