Ok the continuation from this https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/236214/?offset=4500#comment17024027
Took the crown race off and it is a bearing crown race. The bit on the forks doesn't look that great. I removed the head race using two blunt razor blades so made sure to do no damage. Is there a limit to the number of shims under the crown race? Ended up buying https://www.planetx.co.uk/products/selcof-integrated-cartridge-bearing-headset-for-straight-1-1-8th-fork-steerer? to replace the bearings and all the bits.
Also removing the brake caliper was difficult and the central bolt had to be unscrewed by taking the caliper apart and seemed like that the bolt had corroded in to place.
