Yes. It had a metal plate with holes to reach through to get at the IF slugs. You need that cover in place or the alignment will be interfered with by stray magnetic fields elsewhere in the chassis. If nobody comes up with an extra one, you could make a temporary one with an old paint thinner can, etc.
