Is it official? Can we rename the L92 Heads and call them LS3 Heads?

LG took the shell off pretty easy, only some bolts holding the shell to the intake.
It looks like the intakes are the same except for different sensor connections and some hardware.

They just quiet it down and disrupt airflow.

I was quite confused by looking at the pic you posted. why did you post about a comparision between L92 and LS3 and then post a pic of LS6 next to L92 heads???
