The restoration guide is silent regarding the correct colour for the BJ8 brake callipers, or are they even painted at all

Any paint on the wire wheel hub?
 
A lot of Googling indicates that on some other British cars the callipers came zinc chromate (yellow zinc) which is a yellowish gold colour

Anderson and Moment state that the 60 - 61 were dull black with some the same silver gray as the wheels, the rear drums the same gray, and that the brakes were carried fwd from the MKII
