That totally depends on the car, the brake package and the year.

Here is a pic from a 69 Dart GTS with KH power disc brakes. I believe that it is original.

Charger, Road Runner, & Super Bee Authentic Restoration Guide written by Paul Herd page 95 states, Master Cylinders 1968 "The cylinder itself should be painted cast-iron gray to simulate the fresh-cast look, and the cover and hold down clamp should have cadmium gold appearance. Page 95 goes onto state The Federally-Mandated dual circuit cylinder first appeared on 1967 models. Both 67 & 68 used Part number 2808599. Chrysler Muscle Car Parts Interchange Manual written by Paul Herd page 85 shows part number 2808599 applicable to 1967-69 Barracuda, Fury, Monaco, Newport, New Yorker, and Polara. 1967 - 68 Belvedere, Charger, and Coronet, with drum brakes. Used in both power and non-power assisted applications.

2808599 is a drum brake master cylinder. 67-70 drum brake Mopars all used the same master cylinder and it had the bolt on style cap. Generally accepted to be cast iron with plated cap, though I have NOS examples that have the body E coated black with a plated cap.
The OP asked about a disc brake master cylinder. All the Mopar disc brake master cylinders from '67-'70 were painted gloss black except the flange and the area by the outlets where protective plugs were installed prior to painting. Here is an NOS assembly line '67-'70 A body manual disc brake master cylinder casting number 2225541 date coded 212th day of '69. Interestingly has a splotch of white paint on the front of the bore area of the casting.

I myself would not use that book for reference restoration.

There are lots of mistakes in that book.

There are lots of mistakes in every car book article I've ever seen or read
I own a 1969 Dart GTS 383 4 speed car without power brakes, it has the stock Kelsey Hayes front disc brakes on it, this is the M.C. that was on it when I bought it in the early 1990s,(this car was sold at Saddleback dodge in Orange County, CA in late 1968) it works very well, it doesn't seem to have a residual valve in the back half of the M.C., the front tires spin as easy as any other front disc brake Mopar I have owned, drivened and worked on or raced
