Ok here we go:
My wife is super excited because I have dragged three filthy things onto the computer desk. These are seven fin offset bolt valve covers. On the inside they have the number 3726086. The name HOOVER COMPANY name is not on the inside of the covers but the trademark "H" is. These covers DO have the cutouts above the top bolt holes. I'll be damned if I can find it now but I remember one of these covers had a 1955 date cast into one of the insides of the covers, not real legible but like something that would have been in the mold and not supposed to be legible to the public eye. I can't locate it now.

I have a couple of sets of 7-fin offset-hole Hoover valve covers; one set of low-script (used through 1958 S/N 3600 or so), and one set of high-script (used from '58 S/N 3600 until about 1959 S/N 6000 or so, when the heads changed to parallel holes for the covers).
The early '56 9-fin covers without the notches in the inboard flange are rare as hen's teeth. The second-design '56 2x4 intake with larger runners required the notches. ![]()
