And those just sound like casting numbers. 

T-1, T-2, and T-3 cases just differed in where they bored certain holes,
and where they installed certain studs. They all got the same case if it
was replaced. The replacement case came with a kit for the car model you
were installing it in.

The only number that really matters is, the engine serial number that is
stamped into the case near the distributor.

As for your heads, in 30 years, there is a good chance that the heads
have been replaced at least once. And also, the numbers you are looking
at on the heads is probably just a casting number also. The heads do not
have a serial number.
