They're pushrod covers or valve covers, to me, because the engine tin
is that stuff that more or less seals the engine compartment from the
road.

As far as I know, the valve covers will fit about every VW boxer
engine ever made, and so will the metal bails that snap them in place.
I have not actually tried this, but when a machine shop lost mine, I
went by my VW shop and was told "they're all the same."
