Hi A,
Welcome!
No. During the 72 model production all 454 valve covers were painted.
Regards,
Alan

For 70 production the 454 valve covers were flash chrome plated.
It's possible that some' early' 71 production 454 engines had the 70 chrome plated valve covers, but the majority of 71 bb engines had painted valve covers.
