Default Radiator support rod cup washer question

This question is for fine point people, as I doubt a regular model A person would no about the cup washer. On 1928 model A's the radiator support rods are tubular in nature, not solid like the later vehicles. There is a cup washer used between the gas tank bracket and the nut on the tubular rod. I am pasting in a picture of a car with the cup washer below - it is Tom Wesenberg's phaeton. My question is: what is the correct finish for the two washers - cad, raven or unfinished? I know this is minor detail, but I would like to get the correct finish on the washers.

The correct finish for the radiator support rod is "B" (Black paint) and the correct finish for the support rod nuts and washers is "R" (Raven finish).

If you don't have time to do it right the 1st time, how do you have time to do it the 2nd time?
