Every fastener and washer and it’s plating type(ATR, Phosphate or Chromium) are listed in the BMW parts manual(ersatztielle). Of course, non plated are listed without notation. There was discussion on this a couple years back, try the search function on fasteners.

The specialty fasteners' plating is often not listed in the parts book. I've relied on several experts on early bikes to fill in the gaps while doing my '55 R69. Is there anything in particular you need to know?
