Question Weird part number on head

I noticed that the part number mentioned on my cylinder head does not show up in PET. Can anyone tell me if there is something special about the head?

The part no. is: 951.104.303.1R

Many times, Porsche casts a number onto a part that just refers to the casting itself (probable reason: to differentiate between the turbo and NA heads which basically look the same but turbos get the ceramic liners). The finished part number (machined casting with seats and guides) is different b/c it's now a different part. Control arms and oil pans are two other parts that are treated similarly part number-wise.
