It's definitely a 1275 head, can't tell what the block is.
Might be one of those rare 1275s with a 998 engine number... :P

Maybe he means 1220? Like in the classic Vizard method with Hillman Imp pistons??

I just zoomed the pic in BIG, it's definitely a 1275 block. You can see the 3/8" step to the lug below the engine number pad.

I've asked for more information, and whether I can go and inspect. Worth a drive to Newie to have a look and I'm on leave at the moment.
