The rest of the hub components, like bearings, spacers, axle, depends on what you got at home for reuse ?
Chrome and nickel shortage was a government order, not necessarily applicable to other countries. Not for USA certainly, being the superpower. In that time there were a number of mc brands in my country with chromed tanks and all. No paint for chrome replacement due to shortages but I know in BMW singles they had alu bushes in gears in their gearboxes while the twins had bronce. Cannot tell if that was just a money saving exercise or war-dependend.
