Those are from a corvett and I love the way they look on our trucks and with good rubber seals they never leak.

You can also buy new ones from MoonEyes...with the "screw - in style" oil fill and a PVC hole in the other...but be prepared to spend some $$$$

$265i think

69Z 28 and some ss came with the small block covers in the last picture they have oil fill and PCV with a flat circles for a crossed flag emblem and I am sure some vettes had them. My camaro came with them. Also have a set like that with fins and long flat spot with corvette in cursive. No holes though. Was told from earlier sixtys

jerry i have an original set off a corvette WITH THE OIL FILL HOLES,but i cannot sale them for $60,i wish i could but they are a collector item and are worth a hole lot more than that,i dont blame you for not wanting to pay more for them,keep your eyes open and they will pop up..later!

You will not find a set of staggered-bolt hole early Cal Customs or factory Chevrolet Corvette or non-Corvette valve covers with oil fill holes as they were not produced this way....oil fill and breather were through oil-fill "tube" mounted in the intake manifold...again, that is why you see so many with breathers and oil fill holes machined in them by individuals.
This is a a pair of late 50's early 60's Cal Custom covers with staggered bolt holes:

I bought a new set of valve covers at Charlotte last spring. No longer looking for them, thanks anyway guys.............Jerry

super chevy is correct,although mine are original with fill holes but they were machined in,but the were machined to use the old style oil filler cap...the original peices did not have the filler holes though that is correct
