Ford 94 Carb Rebuild

Does anyone know what the original anti corrosion finish was on the linkages and bolts/screws used on the original 94 carb during wartime? When I have rebuilt carbs before I have had all steel parts electro zinc plated and passivated to give a yellow tint. Would I be right in thinking that in the 40s ford would have just phosphated the steel parts; a grey shade.

Thanks

Ps. Does anyone have a photo of a NOS 94 Carb?
 
I would think any carrier engine with a 94 would be of Canadian origin...didn't the English engines get an adaptor with a single barrel Solex??
94 isn't a carb model, it is just the bore size of a fairly large family of carb models...model # is om left of bowl, '39-41 Fords 91-99 and '42 up wartime 21-29...
Nacwewicz bolts ( http://fordscript.com/ford_bolts/catalogs/V8%202012%20FORDBOLTS%20part1.pdf ) would be a place to start enquiries...they list a different set of hardware for pre and wartime 94 models from the postwar. Quite likely a finish difference.
Canadian carbs carried a C prefix to their part numbers, probably indicating some variations from USA carbs?
 
The unit I am rebuilding is not from the carrier, it had no engine when I acquired it, it is from a 59A, marked '59' on the body. However the manual states that Chandler-Groves, Solex or Zenith were fitted to Loyds, Zenith being recommended for Canadian manufactured motors. Only the Chandler-Grover (Holley 94) is double barrel, both others are single.
Parts book states that the Chandler-Groves is a '91A-9510-A2' but I doubt that means much... other than the part was introduced on the 91A. Thanks for the link.

The "59" is the model and also the part number prefix, so yours is a '46-48 like the 59 engine, pn 59A-9510. VERY little difference, mostly bowl venting, from a 91.
