    Marshall,
    
    All early Panteras came from the factory with De Tomaso plaques glued to the standard Ford valve covers—including yours. 
    
    At some point in L-Model production when the bloom had gone off the rose on the De Tomaso-Ford romance, they stopped using them, so later L-models got plain valve covers.
    
    Do t just believe me.  Open a boo, like the Brooklamds books which have period magazine road tests. They are sometimes difficult to see,  it they are definitely there. 
    
    They are also illustrated in section 60, illustration 1 of the orange cover Ford factory parts book.
