I looked up the Ez Jax and see how they “stow away”, but I don’t think this unique only to the Ez Jax brand. I see other brands that have the line running down the mast on both sides so the lines could be released and pulled back and down to the boom to put on a regular sail cover. Thoughts ?
Lazy Jacks ?

I have the SailCare Sail Cradle lazy jacks. The price was excellent. I will build my own next time but this was a good kit to start out with, learn and modify. It stows parallel with the mast and does not require modifications to the sail cover
That is not true. Yours were custom engineered EZJonz.I installed the EZJax, LazyJacks system, shown by @Hayden Watson on my boat. They work exceedingly well.

This is similar to the original EZJax which were commercially available from a shop out of Port Townsend but the geometry is not quite right. The secrete to the Jax is that when they are stowed, only the final ring on the hoisting line is long enough to reach the gooseneck. On the one you have shown, the top block will be part way up the mast and the two lines attached to it will turn at the gooseneck.
