Can someone please help me out... I am savvy turnin wrench's but I am not super familiar with Subarus.

So here's where I'm at, I bought a good used EJ25 to swap the EJ25 in the Mrs's Outback. Now that I have the rented engine hoist in the garage, long block to swap in on the garage floor ready to swap in, I start stripping down the motor in the car to pull and then realize the heads are different... manifold looks to be different, but to my eye everything else looks the same.

So here is the existing motor/head...

Considering there is obviously a difference, what are my options? 
I was told the motor was from a 99, the vehicle is an 01 (Legacy Outback, Auto)
