I didn't see 799 printed on it. How are you coming to this conclusion?

Look at the dotted #'s past the 028. If you look closely, the # is 028799.

Sorry buddy but those last two digits are not 9s. They are almost un-readable, but what you can see is the final lower dot on the furthest right and lowest spot. This would only be correct if the 9 had a straight down line to the right, which this clearly doesn't not have because of all the dots in the center of the character. That is a serial number from the company that ported those heads giving them a reference of what purchase order number they are tied to. Nowhere is it guaranteed that the original manufacturers part number, or any part of it, will be contain within.

Looks like I'll have to get someone to post pics or I need to find pics to the dotted numbers. The 9's are not straight up and down numbers.

Sorry just doesn't look like nines from my point of view. Anything is possible, but still that doesn't necessarily mean that was the original head casting number.
