Default Baffled valve covers?

How do I know if the valve covers are baffled or not? What are some of your recommendations for valve covers? I like to keep somewhat stock looking but I want a tall valve cover in orange. Is there anything out there like that?

When you take your PCV or breather out and you see rocker arms, then the covers are not baffled.

The Corvette catalog houses all have valve covers, but it'll be less costly to find some at a salvage yard.

I'm not sure that the factory ever made tall covers. Those I've seen have all been aftermarket and chromed.
