Default Big Block VAlve Cover ID Help ?????

I have what I assume(d) was a matching set of OEM Big Block Valve Cover

One of the Yenko members offered me the below opinion.........

I'm now asking for YOUR 2nd Opinion as I feel that these two (L&R) covers
are a born together set from ??????? (Car Model/Engine/Year)


"That is not a matched pair of valve covers in my opinion. the passenger side is 100% for late 68-69 up for Camaro Chevelle Nova etc
The drivers side has the 2 small clips on top for a temp sending wire so it is not for a 68 or 69, it is for 67 IMO, but not correct for Camaro because of the top right plug wire stand. The temp sending wire for a 68 is not routed on the valve cover. It is definitely not correct for any Camaro Chevelle or Nova."
