Never had a k0, but have seen a few...I feel like I would have noticed chrome bolts in such a signif icant and conspicuous location.  No other model had chrome bolts there, just zinc plated.  For more authoritative info, could always check the CMS parts fiche, which generally has quite complete pictures and descriptions of most parts.  Maybe even the part number has a code specing plating type
If it works good, it looks good...

 Zinc on mine. Usually "8" heads.
