Dont no about the year of the engine mate but you can tell if its a coscast head by a "coscast" stamp beside 1 of the inlet holes on the head. Coscast heads ither have or don't have a frost plug, can't remember which!

Thats bollocks about the oil cap. I've got an oil cap of a different xe on mine.

You can only guess really, whether it be an early or late type.

Im pretty sure you cant tell the exact year, you can get a rough idea from the engine code 20xe/c20xe and if its got a distributor or DIS.

as for the coscast thing -
