Are there different types of timing chain covers for a 340?

Physically, they will all bolt up and be functional but when it comes to timing marks, there are three separate covers, '68 (no cast-in timing marks/uses a bolt-on pointer), '69 (timing marks cast-in on passenger side) & '70-up (timing marks cast-in on driver's side). I remember mentioning this to Small Block last month and he was shocked to find out there were three individual covers. It's one of those things that is not absolute Mopar common knowledge.

nice to learn something new every day
Yea, I learned it on my 70 engine that someone put a 69 cover on, so I
couldn't time it. Caused a WTF from me but I guess they are more rare
because I sold it on ebarf for 65 bucks.
