For a 1971 350/270 (auto if that matters)?

Yes. Base engines got painted steel valve covers.

That whole engine compartment looks pretty much stock, from what I can tell in the photo. Valve cover has the rubber oil fill plug and the PCV valve with "T" fitting and hoses is in the other grommeted opening.
