Looks like a 6v to me.

Run your finger down the chamfer and if it hits the underside of the lid on the same side of the central 'button' it's a 6v; being a much shallower angle, a 12v will have your finger land on the opposite side of the 'button'

I have three types of cover in my parts stash, not sure about the markings?
Can anyone confirm what they are?

Moving left to right you have late 6v, 12 v and early 6v.

The early 6v impeller had a shoulder at the top of the vanes.

Thanks for that I always wondered what the one on the right is.
