Manifold wise, they're the same pattern as Astron 1. But I believe pistons are more like Astron 2 (flat top instead of dished.)
I believe Astron 2 use hydraulic tappets, Paj has adjustable tappets. Not sure how "block width" lines up: in the Sigma, manuals and autos have slight differences in "block width", not sure which one the Paj "matches."
Which is why I didn't answer earlier - because the short answer is "NFI".

exhaust patern is the same in both astron 1 and 2 however the inlet manifold are different i efi a couple of l200s years ago and found out the hardway on one. the best way to tell without pulling too much apart is lift the rocker cover at the back of the rocker gear there are four retaing bolts on astron 2, astron 1 only retained by 2 bolts they are interchangable the astron 1 did have dished pistons as i put them into mine to help decompress mine.
