1. The wingnuts that I have seen, have been painted black. They would be very easy to duplicate using a stanchion wingnut and facing the top off. I have seen none of the parts houses stocking this item.
2. You are correct in your assumptions regarding attaching the clamps. flat headed Robertson, and two coach bolts 1 1/4 x 1/4 Nut is 1/2 inch

Thanks Bick. Great info so I can move forward as planned. I do have the original wingnuts that are brass and in decent shape so I think I will just refinish those. Are coach bolts the same as what we call carriage bolts? Domed head with a square "shank" under the head.
