That is actually rather common..to have the heads identical... for manufacturing reasons.
The Ford Ranger V-6 (~1999-2004? vintage) has a somewhat common problem with cracked cylinder heads, causing a slow water loss. It shows up in the front cylinder of the head casting on the driver side bank, and in the rear cylinder on the other bank, due to a design flaw in the casting.
