Help Needed.....Suspension part original colors????

Ok, I finally got a chance to remove my entire front suspension from my 69 Charger.  I am ready to install and know the upper and lower control arms are supposed to be natural steel color with the lower control arm getting cosmoline coating.  The pivot shaft (that bolts to the k-frame and goes into the lower control arm bushing) I have no clue what color it is supposed to be?  I am thinking it is either semi flat black or natural steel color?? ???

My next question is what color is the large cupped washers that hold the rubber bushings on the strut bar that goes from the lower control arm to the k-frame?  I thought I remember reading somewhere that it was clear zinc?  While I am on this subject, what is the correct color of the nut that holds the the above washer in place?  I thought it should be zinc chormate (chomish silver color).

One last thing... the special bolts that go through and mount the upper control arm that have the off center washers.... are they a greyish black color?

Any help with the above items with coloring would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
