Topic: 1970 Factory Original Rear Sport Slats (Louvers)

The hinges were chromed die cast metal of some sort
 Definitely not stainless steel.

+1  Yes you don't seem to find them rusty so not certain what the base is

Here is a pic of the back side of one of my louvers.

You can see the welds and numbers stamped into each.

Note that the top one does not have a "1", but 2-6 are numbered.

This set of louvers was installed by my car's second owner circa 1974. They were purchased through the local Ford dealer's parts counter, and were not installed at the factory.

Another data point.  I bought a unused louver set from mustang parts of MI in 84.  The seller said they were OEM.  The attached installation instructions came with the louvers.  They are physically identical to the pictures and have the same style numbers in the same center locations on the slats.  Alan

Guess we still don't know if 69 and 70 versions are different. Would take a pretty good survey or at least multiple reports with VINs from slats from unrestored reliable cars.
