Can someone please post a picture of an Atlas timing chain cover for a magneto. I can’t find one anywhere and I’m considering a magneto.

Do you mean you are thinking of fitting a magneto to a commando?
If so be aware that the studs on the triangular plate are not symmetrical like a magneto flange is

Which position are you talking for the magneto:
1. the conventional position behind the RH barrel, or
2. on the end of the camshaft, where the tacho drive was on the bike in the day. ??

This is a '62 650SS - note the different screw positions. That's a blanking plate I made.

No I’m building a Dunstall racer replica. I’ve done some research and I’m going to use an electronic ignition. I’m going to keep my atlas timing cover. Thanks for the responses tho. Much appreciated.
