As someone who's collected some of J.E. MacDonnell's naval fiction, I can say that I'm not sure Horowitz ever credited their cover artists. I even have one of the few J.E. MacDonnell novels Horowitz released in hardback (Breaking Point, 1979) and there's nothing about the artist on the cover or the copyright page.
