I've never seen this before. R servo with an H? Anyone else ever see one?

Never seen one. It is very interesting and I am better informed now for watching that video. For me it doesn't really matter because I would want the R marked servo mainly because it is the typical assembly line expected look but good info to know. A "H" marked servo would be considered wrong regardless of if it had the CJ internals or not. It is not like it can be easily verified one way or the other once installed ether. I don't know if you could count on the slight difference in covers to be consistent between the two H servos or not . Good luck trying to make the argument that it is the same as a R servo in a concours venue. I for one try to keep those type obscure arguments to a minimum.But that is just me. :)

In the video what is really far fetched is it looks like the PN on the rare H Servo is the same PN as a R Servo.

We had a discussion about this many years ago on the 428CJ site.  We found a number of CJ C6s which "appeared" to be H servos all of which had cast iron tail shaft housings...including my KR vert that I've owned since '72, an original owner California Special 428 CJ, and a very low mileage original KR vert owned by Scott Fuller.  It wasn't an early/late thing, because my KR is very early, and Scott Fuller's was very late.  We found no explanation at the time, but based on the video it would seem likely that these are really R servos made with an H casting.

There was an old mechanic at the Ford dealer I worked for back in the day who used to say if you're working on a Chevy you just need to know what decade it was built in...if your're working on a Ford you need to know what year, what month, what day, what time, what plant, and what supplier, if you want to get the right part.  I've come to know he was more right than I ever imagined at the time...

Just by the way I would need an H Servo if someone has one for sale. Thanks.
