One for the scrutinisers!

This is interesting, can anybody advise....?
The rocker cover on my 1965 saloon needs a bit of tidying up, and I thought I would start by ordering new nameplates etc.
Question 1
The pic of my rocker cover shows the “Morris” plate secured by pop rivets. I assume this is incorrect and they should be aluminium blind (semi tubular rivet) like the ones on the Weslake patent plate?
Question 2
This is a good one... The Weslake patent plate on my engine states “ The following patents are embodied in this “POWER UNIT”.
All the plates I can find on the web state “ENGINE” (not power unit)?
Also some of the patent numbers are missing when compared to the new ones available.
Have I got a super rare rocker cover worth lots of money that needs preserving as-or perhaps some scrapyard one from an old boat engine or generator?
My rocker cover Typical replacement (from ESM) Any ideas, or am I being too fussy? I just want to tidy it up.
Anyone got any thoughts?
