Yes - Susan the MKI, II, and III had a copper colored valve cover the closest
match is a Camel color used on either GM or Ford I don't remember right now,
I'll have to look it up when I get home tonight.

Hi Bill!
I really have no idea myself, but I am on the Triumph mailing list and
will post your question there. Someone there will hopefully have the
knowledge.
As far as I know, there was no copper colored factory valve cover --
only aluminum(?), chrome, and black. There may have been more I don't
know
about, or the previous owner (PO) may have painted it to match the car
paint or just in a color he/she liked.
Hang tight -- hopefully some messages will come to you soon.
Good luck!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan Hensley %)
