Default head identification help

I pulled these heads off a ls4 5.3. I had a couple of ?'s 1 I read that these are the same as the heads on an ls6, is that correct? 2 can anyone tell me if these are the correct heads or any information. Under the valve covers are numbers two sets of four after the GM stamp first set 1256 second set 1706. On the corner there is a number outside the valve cover 706. Thank you.

Not sure what that means. I'm fairly new at this and learning as I go.

706 are 99 to 04 gm 4.8-5.3 motor. 243 heads are what a ls6 has.
