2020 Firebird V 63 reissue

I was wondering why Gibson would use black pickup mounting ring screws on a pickguard that is supposed to have a VOS finish instead of the nickle like all the other screws in the guitar. This is a 63 reissue Firebird V from 2020.

I don't know what color screws a '63 had in it's pickguard - but to me it looks like the guard has black trim and thus the screws match that.  Nickel screws on the black and white guard would look sort of weird so it's just an aesthetic choice, but I think they look better than nickel ones would.
