Default “Ford” Cylinder Heads

I have 2 “Ford” cylinder heads....1 says “Ford” and the other says “Ford USA”. Any idea what year/years they used each of these? I tried to add photos, but I get an error message that they failed to upload.

Cylinder heads made for service replacement after the end of production were so marked.

Thanks! I assumed these were original heads, not Ford replacements. I have 8 other heads, so how do I tell if any are originals.

There should be letters and numbers embossed on the head..I have a 'ford' one it date codes to December 28th 1936,its called a service head,made for parts.its a better made head than a Rouge one,ford was very demanding of their subcontractors.
