Are the 235, 250, 292 valve covers interchangeable? Can I put a 235 or 292 valve cover on my 250?

194, 230, 250, and 292 engines use the same sheet metal. 235 and 261 is a different design. The 216 and early 235 valve cover can be used on late 235 and 261 engines by swapping a couple of rocker arm shaft bolts for studs.

Thanks for the info Jerry. So you believe the 292 and the 250 should be interchangeable?

Not only the valve covers, but the entire cylinder head will swap, IMHO.
