Pretty certain it is metal not bronze, it looks a bit yellow because of the light. Anyway it is for a KH according to the description and has good valve seats (not)

It's got to be cast iron. The bronze colour is applied to the carburetter studs as
well - they're steel.
If you wanted to use the head you'd have to strip that powder coating off, it's
almost perfect at keeping the heat in.

Blasting media lodged alongside the valve guide in picture 5.
Every area not powder coated has that strange 'bronze' colour.
Must be a trick of the light or flash used by the photographer.
