Those M8 barrel covers came with some Montague rods. Montague must have acquired them as WWII surplus to use as rod cases. For instance, see eBay auctions 160057584760 or 270063369036

The lack of markings indicates the rod was probably refinished. The reel seat, grip, winding check, and ferrules will help identify the rod - provided those items were not replaced. The thread wrap colors and styles might not be original and won't help for an ID. Run an eBay search on "montague rod" and compare the hardware on your rod to those up for auction.
