Default 70 Firebird Engine Bracket Finishes

In the attached pic from the 70 assembly manual, can anyone confirm the finishes on the 5 different brackets I have highlighted in yellow?
Right now I have them all painted black, but it has been so long on this project, and I did not do a good job documenting the original finishes.
Thanks!

All are chassis black, which is like a 60% sheen.

My 2$ worth,...gloss of 60-75%. Better a bit too shiny than a bit too flat, IMHO.

Yup, semi-gloss. One advantaged of gloss is it's easier to keep clean.
