72 Cuda OEM chrome valve covers?

Could my 72 340 Cuda have come from the factory with chrome valve covers? It had them on it when I bought the car 15 years ago.. They look like OEM quality and I can make out this number stamped into the baffle plate inside one of the covers 333EX19 or it might be 335EXJ9 It is really had to read. I cannot find a pentastar stamped on them anywhere.

factory installed = NO

sounds like some "Direct Connection" chrome small block valve covers

Many thanks. Could be but they have the brackets on them to attach the plastic ignition wire brackets to them. Did the factory ones have a Mopar logo stamped in them? Maybe someone chrome plated the factory painted ones?

Thanks again! Mike

I want to remember the direct connection V covers were just chromed OE stock covers .
I used to have a set but that was a LOOOOOONG time ago

I have a couple of the DC/MP covers. They are just chromed stockers, but they are pretty nice.

Li'l Red Express came with factory chrome valve covers with spark plug wire tabs. That wasn't until 1978, though.
