Yes I've heard of this. I've also heard of D3ZE heads with the larger 4V sized valves. There was obviously a transition period during construction that occurred in this order:
D1ZE heads were cast with larger chambers
The casting number changed from D1ZE to D3ZE
The valve sizes were reduced from 2.19/1.71 to 2.04/1.65
