Is the Series 1 4.2 2+2 engine the same as the Series 1 4.2 SWB engine or are there any difference like Head, etc?.

No difference to my knowledge. Assuming the 2+2 isn’t an auto.

I’ve never had an auto but to my knowledge it would only be flywheel onwards. Crank will be the same.
Head is the same .
All assuming it’s a genuine e type engine of the same age and not that from other XK engined vehicles.
