I had asked this same question years ago and the Dart master, Rhinodart posted this picture.

I cant add anything regarding the valve covers, but why does the brochure mention 'black crackle finish air cleaner' and '"383 Super Commando" decal atop carburetor air cleaner' yet show the ribbed air cleaner. Survivor picture shows wrinkle finish and 383 Four Barrel pie tin ...so what is correct there I would think the later.

The picture of my Dart above has the original valve covers on it. I have had 9 1969 survivor 383 Darts and 2 Barracudas all with chrome valve covers. The picture with the 17" unsilenced air cleaner is from a 67 or early 68.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
