I think the most likely cause of a new valve cover would be a broken timing chain. I don't see why a new head or motor would require a new valve cover.

Looks like it has a recent exhaust manifold gasket too.

My 602 has one of those on the valve cover...but the engine has never been opened up nor has it had any type of failure that would require the replacement of the valve cover. My grandparents kept good service records

that decal was put on the cover when the engine was new, replacement parts decals look different.
