Chuck , seen those and have them on my watch list but kinda want to pick up a set of the aluminum covers .
they do look to be pretty good shape though .
Will the chrome covers even work on a dual quad set up ?

They'll fit a 2x4 setup fine.
You'll have to take one of the breathers off and put a PCV valve in there.

I have a set like these, I thought the breather on both sides was from the mid to late 50's, when they used a draft tube. I though someone chromed them.
