How do you determine if a mid sixties Mini is an original 1275 S?

I'm not a Mini guy, bit I think you can tell by the casting numbers on the head. The S 1275's had "big valve" heads.

Let me see if I can find a thread- I was reading about this recently...

Oooor did you mean by some other means?

Okay, so I can identify an original S head. Are there any indicators on the body?
