Maybe post up a picture. I checked the lifters in my garage out of a 2006 6L and they dont have any numbers on them.

I wouldnt worry about it as long as you know they are low mileage.

I posted pictures of the early open style and the closed style. The closed style is the LS7 style lifter.
We can't see what the stuff you bought looks like so how can we correctly answer your question???

They look like LS7 lifters to me. Either way it doesn't really matter what they are as long as they are in good shape. I have seen ls7 lifters fail just as often as the regular ls1 lifters. The ls7 are just the replacement for the ls1 style lifters so that's why everyone gets them. I don't think there is any advantage to them other than being newer.

Actually there is a slight difference betwen the original open design and the later closed design. But it's so minor you wouldn't notice unless you measure it. It was redesigned to make it more reliable part.

Looks like you have the more desirable part. You should be fine. The same part number services several engines.
