22RE header question

[EWAYota]

Don't worry, this isn't a which brand question.

Got a guy selling what appears to be a LCE header on another forum for a 22RE. There isn't any LCE badge or nameplate on it, said some of the finish was flaking off so he sanded it down and high-temp painted it, but the bends and everything look just like LCE.

Anyways, the exhaust ports on the header are circular, while mine on the block are pear shaped. Are headers for the newer 22RE suppose to circular or pear or does it matter? Would this work, and just get a exhaust gasket for the older RE or newer?

Just looking for some thought on if I buy this, will it work.

these are the headers in question:

It definitly looks like LCE's work. I can tell by the flange (beefy). Wether or not its the right one for you, I don't know.
