Trism's guess is closer I think. Not 100% but looks similar to F22B1 like I have in my Accord. Here's a crap pic I found online:

yeah i had a sneaking suspicion that it was a D16y1 / D16z6 valve cover with the H and the Honda shaved off
but theres absolutely no sign of it being removed

that just means they did a good job at it.
Its not hard to do. Its pretty soft metal really, a grinder and a grinding disc to take it nearly all the way down, then a sanding disc to bring it all to the same level

i just didnt expect something that well done considering the condition of the rest of the engine
the paint was very poorly done on the cover as well lol

Maybe they got lazy haha. I shaved my entire cover with a hand-held file, then used an orbital sander.
Your cover looks pretty much like my Y1, minus the mentioned features.
