I can't answer your question directly, but did notice that when I opened the 
boosters on my '73 GTV (rhd, dual boosters throughout production), the insides
were gold in colour.  The external surfaces are a dull grey, similar to galvanised 
steel.  Are the boosters you're looking at restoring the same colour inside and 
out?  Could this internal finish be the original external finish as well?
