Rod Bolts: Phosphated vs Color Dyed?

Hey everyone!

I'm waist deep in swapping out the rod bearings (in-car), and I noticed the manual has two torque specs: 50ft-lbs for "color dyed", 46ft-lbs for "phosphated". I got the bolts from Moss, and sure enough, they're not marked.

Can anyone out there give me some insight into what I should torque these bad boys to?

Thanks!
