Would not fit 65-67 w/power brakes.....possibly 68 and up as well. They do not have the angle cut (drivers side) provision to clear the brake booster.

If they are GM, they don't appear to be for a Corvette.

With a push in oil filler cap, they're similar to 71-74 covers.

71-72 Corvette covers would have the stand on the top of the cover, for the plug wire support. 71 covers were chrome, while 72's were painted. 73-74 covers have tabs along the outer edge (above the bolt holes), as well as an angled stand on the rear corner of the top of the cover. 73-74's are painted.

Also, you appear to have 2 left side covers, as the right side cover should only have a single hole. Only the left cover had a hole for the oil fill.
