all 500 and 550 covers swap directly over,your looking for the later 550 cover with the rocker shafts which have a cotter type bolt to lock them so they dont move or rotate.

Thanks. This is the one I just bought.
Anyone know of the cover s are compatible?
Also, anyone know the size/type of bolts/nuts needed to secure the shafts? It looks as if it's missing the bolts and nuts
Thanks again

As Dave said earlier, all 500/550 rocker covers are interchangeable. The anti-rotation pins are a special tapered (one side) shaft with a threaded end. They are specific to this rocker cover, so you will need to order them from the dealer or search eBay.
