MG Midget and Sprite General - What engine do I have

I know that sounds daft but I have had an old engine in the garage for years I always thought it was a 1500 from a midget, but the head number is differant. The head number is RKC 0589 the engine number is DH49693HE. I have a good 1500 but am looking at a stage 2 rebuild and wanted to use the old engines head whilst keeping a good one if it all went wrong. Thanks

DH on the block would suggest it is a Triumph 1300 unit according to this...

As for the head, there isn't really any clear info I can find in a 5 minute search. Deffinatly something Triumph!

Cheers,
Malcolm
