Would these various tags be zinc plated?

Engine Tag is not plated - Bare stamped steel
Steering box tag - My experience has been that this tag also is bare stamped steel
Differential tag - I am not sure. It does not appear to be bare stamped steel or zinc plated. Almost seems to be a variation of galvanized steel.

May depend on the year. Engine tag on 70 B302 is aluminum.

They are all stamped bare steel on my car. I don't have the engine tag, but I do have the trans, steering box.
