Default valve cover differences

On base 327 engines , 63-67 , are there different part numbers for the steel valve covers , or differences between the years that you can see or identify ?

I'm checking out a pair I think came from a 63 , for use on my '66

'64-'66 rocker arm covers have two stamped "triangles" -- one to the front and the other to the rear of the flat that accepts the label, as shown below. '63s do not have these. '67 is completely different and features the 'chevrolet' script instead of the labels/decals of the earlier years.
