Use the forum search to look up "transition".

The C6AE-R heads is an "emissions transition" head, available in about 1/3 of FEs in 1966 and 1967 only. It was apparently distributed randomly, since a 352 pickup, 428 LTD, 390 -2V Fairlane, or 390 GT Mustang all stood an equal chance of getting the head.

The exhaust drill pattern was different for the Fairlane/Mustang, and this identifies your heads as Farilane/Mustang heads. They are most likely from a 390GT, but 390-2V and 390-4V (non GT) engines also got these same heads, though with a different valvetrain installed.

Here's a link that explains things a little better:
