1996 4AFE cylinder head issues

I bought my neighbor's '96 Corolla with the 1.6L 4AFE engine. I pulled the head to do the head gasket, but the machine shop measured the warpage at over 20 thousandths, so I need a new one.

My problem is the EGR port design. My head has the EGR passage built into the intake manifold under the #4 runner. There is a port on the head that directly feeds the intake. All of the heads at the junkyards do not have this port. It seems that they used an entirely different EGR design that uses a pipe to connect to the block/exhaust manifold somewhere. Is this a common problem? Is there any way around this issue? I doubt this is a California car, since it was leased and then purchased from the dealer by my neighbor (I'm assuming she's the original owner), and we're in Ohio.

Edit:

According to a manual for the 4AFE engine (in a Celica, not sure if the Corolla engine is the same), I have a California emissions exhaust manifold. I'm assuming that is why my egr design is different. The VIN comes back as being built in Canada.

Found another head at a boneyard about an hour away. Hopefully my issue is solved.
