Other information

The base head that's used for NPV can be found under

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\player_female_average\h0_000_pwa_c__basehead\
base\characters\head\player_base_heads\player_male_average\h0_000_pma_c__basehead\

To export a head mesh with shape keys, you have to export the corresponding .morphtarget, e.g.

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\player_female_average\h0_000_pwa__morphs.morphtarget

As these are not named in a human-readable way, you'll want to apply them via Blender script.
