I'm a bit suspect of the claims listed in the auction. These are supposed to be original covers / solder joints although the joints look a bit rough and there are some smudge marks around them where someone could have cleaned the area prior to soldering. Most DryZ's I have seen had wax on the base plate but there are no signs of it here. Cleaning it off would have most likely removed the stamp.
One of the covers don't appear to fit well. If you look close at the pics you can see that the screw holes don't line up well. It looks like in one pic on the far left screw that it is set below the cover and raising it may catch it.
The covers looked well aged but the screw pole pieces are very clean. At the least I would say that the covers are not original and possibly not correct although the seller claims he knows what guitar they came from. I'm not saying it's the case but that Z wouldn't be all that hard to replicate either. This seller has had a lot of Z's up for auction lately. I guess I'm a bit skeptical.
