You are correct-they were in fact made for the '17.  According to Brophy they were called the "Model of 1917 Breech Cover" and listed as such until 1928.  He goes on to say that in order to avoid having two covers in the system during WW1, the one cover was made"to do" for both rifles. He also states that over 4 million were ordered for the 1917-18 period and most of that order were delivered!  There should be more of these out there but they seem to be rather scarce these days. Nice condition covers! Thanks,
