You do know that the 16 head is identical to the 18 head (valves, chamber size) except for the '16'?
I'd grind the '18' until it looked like a 16 or grind it off and defy them to tell the difference, or grind it off and put it back with weld as a 16 (you need a steady hand!).
If you are desparate, I still have the original engine from my TVR but I wouldn't want to sell the head without the engine.
I had a rare factory TVR Weber manifold that some twit had bored a hole in - I plugged it with JB Weld and you can't tell the difference - right through one of the 'TVR' letters
