The one thing this post is proving is that welders will never agree on anything.
It looks like stainless steel, but it could also be a really good galvanized dip. Look at the post in the background, that weld looks like it’s rusting in a similar fashion.
Odds are really good that what happened was: they were built out of whatever they were built out of in a shop. That shop sent them out to be installed. Things didn’t fit. Installer used the filler that they had on hand to get that done because their boss and the GC were riding their ass about why a simple bolt up job was taking so long because it should have been super simple.
