The Ford Barn

I am restoring an 82B CCPU and am trying to determine the correct and original finish of the mounting hardware for the back window frame. Some have told me that the screws were originally nickel, others raven finish. Same questions on the washers and nuts as well as the corner brackets. The repo screws are standard dome head run of the mill pieces and are zinc finished. I believe the originals had a different shape. Is this correct? Does anyone have an original who can shed some light on this? I don't see anything in the JSC on this.

I have another unrelated question pertaining to the painting of the inside of the cab. The JSC states that it could be body color or black. Do you think that Ford would have gone through the effort of masking off the interior to paint it black? Doesn't seem plausible to me,,, but once again input would be appreciated. Thanks.
