That looks very similar to a cover we just painted for a customer. We had never seen a cover quite like it honestly, was fairly thin aluminum with a inner structure sort of like a hood has, to give it strength. It fit down right on top of the bed top, and since it was just a thin piece of aluminum around the edge, it fit flush and snug. This one had a keyhole in the top at the rear though, it controlled two rods that kept it secure in the back. The front hinges were very simple and the two halves just slipped in to each other, and then it had support shocks left and right. All in all two guys could remove it in a matter of seconds and it weighed hardly anything.

It did not have a name or brand on it anywhere though, maybe I'll call the owner and find out what the heck it was. I do know he told me it cost $1000, unpainted. We charged him $325 to turn it black, so for a price tag of over 1300, sorta pricey.
