Looks great. But I believe it is just a standard M30 B28/B30 valve cover that has had a beautiful custom paint job.
I don't think so.
Look at where the oil filler is in relation to the typical ones I always see:

That might be the difference between the carb version and the FI version.

Teahead,
You should have the exact same valve cover as the one you first posted. I know that I do. Can you post a picture of yours?
IF the head has been changed, and if it has the 'snorkel' tubes FI, then the first valve cover seems to be correct (my '74 has that design). I think the original heads on the 3.0 liter carb cars that were in our cars have the valve cover shown by teahead - based on recollection of the'71 and '73 I owned in the mid-late '70's..
Both the carburetted motors I have, have the oil filler there. The three later M30 injected motors have it located closer to the firewall rather than the front. I have looked at E9 3.0 CSi engine bays and there are mixed locations. I expect they also move the location because sometimes the airbox sits where the filler was on the original cover.
Oil filler in front on the e9, carbed and injected. If going b35 with b35 style air box, you use the rear filler location.
