Both ends had covers once, but no doubt after dangling around during use, and getting caught everywhere, they were disposed of.
In answer to your very first post, the normal slave cables of the period were the 2 pin style. The single pin only came into Cdn use sometime in the early to mid 80s. Somewhere I have the data plate with NSN off the newer single pin (these also dangled off the cable and were soon torn off). With that I can determine the time period they were introduced into US service.
I got my first single pin set of cables courtesy of some militiamen who were unloading jeeps from the backs of deuces at our loading dock, pulled away and left the "B" class cables laying on the dock.
