Default 1989 GT 3R cylinder heads

My GT was purchased w/o a cylinder head. I have purchased the "correct" replacement, another 3R head. I have some basic questions. First are the heads interchangeable from side to side or are the camshaft oil plugs placed in such a way that there is a proper right and left head. Second where are these plugs located, and are they plastic like the earlier heads and need to be replaced. Finally could someone post a picture showing which head is proper on the left bank and which is proper on the right bank.
Thanks

Heads are identical and can be used on either side of the engine.

Galley plugs were superceeded to an aluminum rod, replacing the original rubeer plug. You need five....two for the driver's rear cap and three for the passenger rear cap. These rods are very cheap and still in inventory at Porsche.

Thanks Greg. The replacement head did not have the plugs. The original head still did. I'll replace the plastic ones with aluminum.
