Maybe there was some variation on the plating used on these front disc rotor shields.....I have originals from 2 '70 Oldsmobile Abody cars and they are absolutely galvanized. Same thing for a '72 Buick Stage 1 car.
I think the only option these days is to have them clear (silver) zinc or cad plated. Repros are zinc plated as well. I've seen where people take things like crumpled up foil or cellophane rubbed in a silver paint and then "dabbed" on the surfaces to try and emulate the galvanized look.
The shield in posting #3 above doesn't have that distinct galvanized "pattern".......maybe it's just the photo and I can't see it, etc or then again, maybe that one isn't galvanized.
And yes, Mike does very nice work!
