Offhand, I'd say that they were Edelbrock finned aluminum valve covers for a second gen Olds V8. 
Seriously, they are simply aftermarket covers, now out of production, and cast as the same foundry as these:

Joe, your absolutely correct, but Edelbrock made covers for that period with a different cast and casting number. Those are the only set I have seen that had the Holley/M/T cast and casting number with the Edelbrock logo. I cannot find any info or even a picture of them elsewhere

The only difference I see is the M/T and the HARDIN MARINE cast in the area where they have the Edelbrock name. I have seen many sets of all of the variations, including Offenhouser. They are really hard to find.
