scripture says that His head was wrapped in a separate cloth

That seems to be the Sudarium of Oviedo. Matching bloodstains and bloodtype.

Same bloodtype as the the Eucharistic Miracle of Lanciano too.

I know they matched bloodtype (AB), but why not do a DNA test also?

Wasn't it common for crucified victims to have their faces covered, on the cross or scafold, with a cloth after their death for possibly religious reasons?

Thank you!

New insight -- The sudarium was wrapped around Jesus' head on the cross and then removed, set aside and left in the tomb when he was wrapped with the shroud during burial. Prior to this I had understood the passage to mean that Jesus had two separate wrappings while in the tomb, and that didn't fit with the shroud at all.
