My question...should the piston rod coming out of these
air cylinders be a "shiny" steel color similar to the steel piston rods you
see on hydraulic construction equipment such as backhoes or some other color?

There are some good "as-built" photos in Kaminski's "Magor Car Corporation" book...
Pages 145-147 show shiny steel piston rods.
The photo on p145 is noted by Magor as "identical to SPMW 2900-2919"...
