Default #13 cylinder head casting number

I found a set of heads today while going through a guys parts and they were stamped with #13 in place of where the #13 should be cast, doesnt appear to have been ground down and done but for some reason it has the numbers stamped the same as if they were cast a 1 on one side and a 3 on the other. any ideas why

If they're big valve heads, can't go wrong with that.
