Default 1961 and '62 Ford 390 engines

My question isn't urgent. Just something I have wondered about. The 1961 and '62 Ford 390 engines had gold valve covers in the single 4 bbl. and tri-power versions. Does anyone know if the solid lifter versions with single 4 bbl. and tri-power (375 HP and 401 HP) were the only ones that had the round sticker on the valve covers that said "390 High Performance", or did the hydraulic lifter 390's (single 4 and tri-power) also use this label ? Wondering if it was a way to tell the two apart back in the day. Thank you, Sal Cicala.
