My unmolested, one owner 69 Barracuda 340-S notchback is similar but apparently not exactly like this.

Hood Latch or Catch (same thing). Same as said above. Here's a photo of the unrestored original. Mostly it is brown dichromate with some parts in black dichromate. The long handle part is dip painted black. The dip line is visible at the bottom of the photo.

Hood Striker. Same as said above. The striker is formed rod, and it was bolted to the hood before painting, so the striker and the bolts are body color.

Pop-up Spring. Mine was painted body color.

Release Handle: As already said, this was dip painted black to a certain depth, leaving a dip line.

"release handle large pivot bolt": My car does not have this AFAIK.

"rods: brown dichromate zinc": My car does not have this AFAIK.
