Ian,
those are self aligning rockers but someone has converted the heads to screw in studs so in theory you could use guide plates with that setup and regular rockers. However the pushrod holes look a bit on the small side so you might end up with an alignment problem unless you enlarged them, thats a head off job though.
Oh, and seeing your looking for comments thats #2 not #8
