I'd go with p64, as we know that there are no Unitron patterned heads.

I think we already discussed this at some length here w.r.t. torsos, and agreed
it was acceptable to use alpha-numeric p-suffixes (eg. 3626Bp6a) with the
definition that the two characters after the "p" are pattern identifiers, not
variant suffices. When officialised, I think the 100.. series Star Wars
patterned parts will be renumbered.
