I have seen chrome ones from the factory but those fit a 305 so they aren't original 283 covers. 265 and 283 had off set bolt holes that would not fit a 305. they may have been 327 or 350 covers

Later 283's had aligned bolt holes, at least the ones on my 64 are and the ones on the 58 engine I have.
