Almost certainly for a BA Speedy I would think, no steel Speedmasters came with a gold coloured dust cover. I think the movement ring is from the 861 era.

Good question actually, now that you show this photo i am starting to wonder if sapphire version actually do has a dust cover... or is there some sort of cover that allows the movement to sit on the caseback perfectly while still showing the movement 863/1863...😗

My guess is sapphire version most likely doesnt come with dust cover? probably a spacer or a movement ring only for the sapphire version?

the ones on my 105.003-65, my 145.012-68 and my 145.022-68 all look like the 3rd one from the right

is that the same as the 2nd from the left?

This one is a model 345.0808 which was introduced in 1980, and is an example of the first Speedmaster with the clear back (mine is from 1990). So, there never was a dust cover/magnetic shield on the model.
