The L88 head was also made in steel as a parts replacement item.
If you went to the parts counter at a Chevy dealer and ordered an L88 long block, it would come with the steel heads. I have a CE stamped 512 block, and on the inside of the head is stamped L88.
The casting # for these heads is not listed in all of the Chevy parts books, like Colvin's.

Andy,

What was the casting number for the steel L-88 heads? I've
never heard this before. Love to know more. Also, what
made them different from any other rectangular port big
block head of that same production period?
