Stock valve covers for big blocks inter-changable?

The 1971-72 402 engines have a push in oil cap from the factory. The 1969-70 big blocks have the twist/turn style oil cap.

My 402 was rebuilt with 396 heads, and the valve covers came with those heads. Unfortunately, I no longer have the original valve covers that were on the original heads, but I think I'd like to find a pair. What I'm wonder is, do you know if the bolt patterns are the same for both types, and is there a clearance concern?
