Rocker Arm/Head I.D. (pics)

I'm having some trouble trying to run down rocker arms for my '65. The numbers stamped in the heads read '7F22' with '4V' under it, as well as '302' cast into them. They are obviously 302 4V heads, but from what? The rockers on them are different from anything I can find on 70's/80's truck and car heads. Anyone know what I have here?
 
look for the casting number, should be under the intake ports..

pretty sure there are only 3 kinds of factory rockers, early flat type, ones with rails to line the rocker and pedestal mount where the bolt goes thru the rocker amr and pedestal and bolts them to the head

Just want to know what these rockers come on; what I can pick them off of at the junkyard, as I have a broken one that needs replacement. Would also be nice to know what the heads are. Thanks for any help guys. (sorry for pic sizes)
 
The rockers look like standard "rail" type rockers. they can be found on any 289, 302, or 351W from about 1966 to about 1978. The heads are 1968 "J Code" heads (302 with four barrel carb). They were available that year only. They had very small combustion chambers for high compression.

Ditto--------- you've got a set of 68-302 4 bbl heads with rail rockers. Basically the same head as the earlier C6OE 289 head, but with rail rockers.
