Surprisingly few posts on this question. I reached out to "JM" and he stated the bolt, washers and nut should all be manganese phosphate.

Mine would be a good one to look at but I had to use the nut, bolt, & forward spring hanger for the body cart to bolt to. It's at the body shop at the moment. That hdw was absolutely perfect on that car. I have to go there in the morning as they're painting the front clip. I will see if I can see the hdw when I'm there...Joe

On all the original cars that I have seen the nut is silver and all other pieces are black/grey phosphate . Can supply photos to back this up.This is the way I have done it on all the restorations in the past. The nut is alittle thicker and square cut compared to a standard hardware store nut.

If you have any original photos of this hardware to post that would be helpful.

For those who've contributed to this thread, thank you! From photos and other input I've received I've concluded the following:

Eye bolt, flat washer and lock washer - manganese phosphate (dark)
Nut - silver/clear zinc or natural

Here is the now restored hardware for my car:
