I don't find many pictures either. Kev might have something in his PI judging book though.

One picture in a service counselor shows the gearshift and steering tube black but the detent plate and lever at bottom of column appears natural. I rather suspect that the linkage was left natural as well since that seemed to be fairly common on some other linkage items. Having said that though, there is one picture in the parts manual of a manual shift linkage that appears black.

If it were mine, would go with black as that would hide the rust and even if wrong, not be terribly out of place as so many other engine items were black.
