They fit, (early design) just use studs on the rockers in place of the screws.

Good luck. \:\)

so your saying the studs can be screwed into the rocker assy on the later heads thus being able to use the early center bolt valve cover?

Yes. I have one on my 54. The cover comes with studs to replace rocker center bolts. The factory rubber bushings are pretty cheesy though but I bought mine in the 70s. They may be better now.
