At this point in time, 1970 parts were already in full production and did begin to appear on both Camaro's as well as Corvettes. Same holds true for a couple members here with cars built the same week who have contacted me and also have early dripper style covers. From the dates on the covers that came on this particular car, it's since been determined a previous owner must have updated the covers to an over the counter set at some point. I'm really not in any rush to change them right now, but when I do find a set of survivor 70 style early covers such as the 3965543 & 3965544 covers shown below, I will in all likeliness be changing them out.
Other parts on this Nov 3rd car including the bell housing and thermostat cover also share part numbers with the 70 Z/28. Thank you for adding the valve cover info. Lessons on part numbers and change orders are always appreciated. As always...I'm still learning here.

Back in 1989 I purchased NOS covers for my 70 LT-1 Corvette. the part numbers on the box were 3965541 -542 but the part numbers under the covers were the 3965543-544. just like the ones you show in the photo. Curious to why the different part numbers? They both have the equal 3 inch length slots and twist in oil cap.
