Rowdy,
Well that brings into play the other thing that was on my mind. The panel may have been uncoverd at inspection time & it would have been easy to overlook what type of cover was going to be used.
One more point in defense of the inspector, in many jurisdictions, they have way too many inspections to do in a day..
As much as I'd like sloppy work to go away, if it meets the code in all other aspects, there isn't much the inspector can do.
