Simplest way of telling the Poly 318 is the bolts through the top of the rocker covers...

Up to '61 there were three of them, after that they dropped the centre one out..
The 318 Poly engine's bottom end is pretty much identical to the LA. Just a bit of wasting of some weight here and there on the LA so it could be the 'Lightweight A' engine, while the Poly was the 'A' engine.
