So I've contacted Leupold about the 42 mm Alumina cover and they forwarded to me the model number of the objective cover I would like to own and ignored the question I posed to them. "Is the 42mm objective cover in (or going to be in) production?" As this is the only American forum of which I am a member, I ask, "Is this cover out there?" The Canadian distributor indicates that it is "out of production" and available "late 2013". I've not been able to source one anywhere. Anybody out there share my "pain"?
