Default Can you identify this cylinder head?

Ok, all you 944 wizards: Identify this cylinder head. Once done, identify the modifications. Some are obvious, others are more subtle. How many can you find? No sense repeating those already identified; only list new ones.

Now people seem to be guessing. It's a Porsche. All I need is the model.... Oh, and tell my why it's what you think it is.

Nope. It's from a 4-banger, mhr. Look carefully... What are the differences between the three 4V/4 cylinder heads? 944S / 944S2 / 968. I thought it would be identified pretty quickly. Don't forget to tell me why it's what you think it is. No prizes for a guess.
