MODERATORS
The rifle in the picture is almost certainly a PM md. 65. I assure you they were made with dust covers. I have never seen a variation of a factory produced AK made without a dust cover.
A more likely, although still somewhat silly explanation is that sometimes AK dust covers can be tricky to get back on for someone inexperienced with them. Somebody may just give up in frustration and leave it off after disassembling and attempting to reassemble it.
