Check the amount of "bars" it has cast on the front of the head. 3 for GT40s, 4 for GT40Ps.

Something else to consider if they end up being GT40's and not the GT40P is to check the hole size for the head bolts. If they are 7/16 they came from a Cobra most likely and will have the smaller combustion chamber. If they are 1/2 they most likely came from a lightning and will have the larger chambers which will lower you compression.
