Those valve covers don't look right to be y-block.
The holes appear to be too much inboard to each other and the holes are not large enough to accept the y-block grommets as they go inside the bolt holes.
If you get a chance measure between the bolt holes and length and width of the covers to compare to a y-block set
Studebaker??

I purchased a Y-Block set of finned aluminum valve covers from Hemmings maybe 30 years ago. Delivery came and I saw those holes too close together and what a disappointment as they turned out to be early Olds.

I just compared my Edelbrocks to the picture posted and they are definitely different. The finned area between the bolt hole and the script is approximately twice as long on the Y-bock version. Be interesting to find out what they fit.

I'd guess they are early Rocket Olds or Studebaker.

How much do you want for them? I'm building a 303 Olds right now. Might go good on it.
