Default 1969 Camaro L78/L72 valve covers?

I have what I believe to be 1969 L78/L72 valve covers that have been in storage since the early 2000s. I also have the hold-downs & bolts that were removed with these valve covers. There are 2 different markings on the bolt heads. I would like to know which hardware (if any) are correct, and also if the valve covers are indeed 1969 Camaro pieces. Thanks!

My vote is for the TR head markings - I've only ever seen those myself, but I've never seen them with the hashes - I've seen just plain "TR" heads. But of course, as we all know, many suppliers and never say never...

Those are definitely not 69 Camaro, those are 1970 only Chevelle or Nova L34, L78, LS6.

...and upon closer inspection, at least two of those hold-downs are SBC... not all born together items IMHO.

Yes, I see that. I have to check my parts bin in case they got mixed up with the others. These covers & hardware were removed from a 69 427/390 Corvette about 20 years ago, so definitely some parts swapping was going on with that car..
