Factory BB valve cover?

Does anyone recognize this DS BBC valve cover with the booster dimple?
It looks like a factory cover, but I don't recall ever seeing any Corvette or Camaro that needed that clearance.

1967 Chevelle used a dimple because the brake booster was increased from 9" in '66 to 11" in '67, BUT, that looks much bigger than factory ??

'67 Chevelle, may have been slightly "enhanced"? Compare to the attached.
What is the engine??

I know a 67 Corvette with PB had a dimple. That is what it looks like to me in the picture.

Likely a reproduction, because the rear plug wire stand is straight. Originals have a dog-leg in the rear plug wire stand on that side (which you can see in Bill's picture and the Ebay pictures you linked). Crane repros have the dog-leg, but all other repros do not.
