Nickle Plated or Not

Hello;
I am restoring a 27 Coupe. While disassembling the steering column and getting pieces painted and bolts ready.
The 2 bolts in the attached picture hold the lower bracket of the steering column to the dash. As you can see they appeared to be originally Nickle plated. Can anyone confirm if they are to be Nickle plated?
Thanks Steve

Looks like 5 out of 5 do - one old photo. Could be the same screw size for the Ignition Switch Panel

On our Canadian sourced cars I believe they were nickel plated, BRASS, and often Robinson head screws.

Yes. On my Canadian 27 Touring they are nickel platted Robertson head.

My December 1926 has Nickel Bolts as shown affixing that bracket as well along the top of the “dash”
All have the standard screwdriver slot. No Robertson on them or the Steering Wheel.
