I have guitars from that era with those exact Kluson tuners. None of them had the covers, so they might have been an option. Covers are cool, though. Agree on the bridge location, there is a shadow mark on the top above where the bridge is now that suggests it's been in random places for decades, and hasn't been played in decades and more... I have a real soft spot for vintage Silvertones, I have a three pickup 1445.
