I have a 1600 GTA unit in the car currently and the head has a different casting number..
So how many 1600 castings are there? Is your other head also a 105.32 something or is it a 105.11? I am familiar with three 1600 castings, two sandcast (105.32 and 105.11) and one diecast. Is there a 4th one by any chance?

I also wonder whether some early 1300GTA's may have had the 1600 head. Is your car a 68? At least one fairly early '68 I am familiar with has the diecast later head. The later head to my knowledge has a 105.59 part .

Also curious are the sellers port dimensions, eg 45mm intake diameter but I guess it really depends where you measure.

GTA production was 37.5mm
GTA Autodelta 66 was 39mm
GTA Autodelta 67 was 33mm
GTA junior production was 32mm

Combustion chamber diameter should be identical on 1300 and 1600, though volume may not - there some indications that the 1300 head may have less volume, but can't say that for sure unless I ever get my hands on a NOS 105.32 head which is exceedingly unlikely.
