Is there any clear distinction between Aftermarket headstuds and OEM? Any engraving or different nut head on there? Wanting to know if the car I purchased has them alerady. Thanks in advance for the help.

According to the No cam removal install, the stock are 12pt 12mm and the ARP are 13mm 12pt. Just want to verify.

well stock head bolts are bolts, not studs. If you see a nut on a stud with thread coming out the top, they're not stock. Here's a pic of stock headbolts:
