I didn't think Canon provided them, though I suppose I should try.

There was a period when Canon added some small tabs to their hot shoe cover for the "A" series cameras (AE-1, ... and maybe the earlier EF). These tabs allowed the hot shoe cover to also serve as an eyepiece cover. A nice idea. Eyepiece covers are valuable when you use the camera's light meter without having your eye up to the eyepiece (they are of no use "during the exposure" as is often stated). When using a manual camera that, like many of the early Nikons, have an external meter display you need to cover the eyepiece when using the external display to avoid having light entering the eyepiece and influencing the meter. Similarly, if you are using an auto exposure camera in automatic you need to cover the eyepiece if you shoot without an eye to the finder since the meter will be setting the camera for you and could be influenced by the stray light.
