Incredibly hard to tell from the pic. I'd suggest taking off the valve covers and having a look-see for any part numbers or any identifying marks. You can compare them to the pictures in this album and see if you can figure it out:

I promise you, Dart heads will show the word "Dart" on them somewhere.

All those little bumps and ridges under where the bolt holes are looks just like a stock head casting. Aftermarket heads aren't going to look like that. You will easily be able to tell, once you have the valvecover off. The GM casting number will be visible.

If you look at the pictures I posted of the Dart heads in the link, the front of the heads are blank. Strange.

pull the valve cover off, they will have DART and pro 1 cast into them. That looks like a stock ported head.
