When did E-Type XK cam covers change from smooth to the black fluted style please? Was it prior to the series 1.5?

Apparently not. Clausager says it was June to October, 1967, for USA series 1.5 cars starting from Chassis Nos.

OTS LHD 1E 15980
FHC LHD 1E 34583
2+2 LHD 1E 77709

And February to March, 1968, for non-USA series 1.5 cars. Engine Nos.

7E 16116
7E 54314
