The cover is roughly 8x9, one end is marked "front", I can't really tell the difference between ends. The center section is square/rectangle but the ends have a unique shape with lots of turn fastener grommets for the end curtains. The end curtains are the same so I am not sure why the "front"...
Mine has the two screws but the bumpers are missing, the parts manual shows it as Pad, cushioning Bumper, cover assembly, Engine 2EA 11656176. Looks like a rectangular rubber block.
Another option is to send a call tag for them and have them picked up that way they won't be involved in the shipping. I had mine of recently and they are very light weight. I have obtained many mv parts with a call tag that otherwise the seller would have never sold as they were not...
I can get the measurements when I get home after work. Muttparts has them new for $45 each, they are aluminum and are very light so shipping would not be too bad.

Bows are an issue, they do seem hard to find and are expensive to ship. I shipped a single bow to TX which is smaller than the cargo bows and it was $75. I have a set for mine and they are simply a tube with flat ends, a company with a tubing bender could crank them out easily.
I am in need of a cover but price will determine if I can buy one. I have an old one I was going to have one made from but may wait now. Thanks for looking into this.
