After you scrap some paint & gunge away you should be able to stick some feeler gauges in between the head & block to see what you have.

Alternately, get a length of solder & stick it through the sparkplug hole until you have it touching the bore & the bar the motor over through TDC so it squishs the lead flat & then measure the thickness of the flatened lead to see what the squish actually is.
