The new old stock Cobra ones I pulled from shipping boxes in the 1980s to examine had no dichromate conversion coating, just plain cadmium plating which ages to a light gray. I have not seen any dichromate on any of the original brake calipers I have rebuilt on street Cobras.
Long ago CSX2310 still had the ink stamps on the rear calipers (assembly numbers and other text) that eventually washed off.
