There's been a few posts of "deformed" heads on Plecos. As far as Common plecos go, the male/female have the same head-shape, only the external sexual organ is slightly different [I can't remember which has a the rounded and which has the pointed one, it's in the FAQ tho' (under Help! in the menu, top right of the screen)].
Not that it really matters if you have two males, a male and a female or two females, as they are unlikely to breed in captivity unless you have a big pond with mud walls/bottom to dig caves in.
