Most early Beetles did originally come with color-matched fender beading and running board mats. If your car's still wearing its original paint, that beading and mat are most likely the correct colors.
Here's a period press photo of a '67 Beetle that shows matching fender bead and running board mat.

Hi Pablo,
matching colored yes fender beadings are original on cars produced in Germany until 8/73 (model 1974).
Assuming that your car is fontana grey and made in Germany, you might find imformation here useful (fender beading is Kotflügelkeder)

The hinge for the door, on the hinge pin appears to be a shiny chrome cap. that is unusual. does the upper hinge also have this shiny cap on the top of the hinge pin? |

It's absolutely normal, it can be a photo effect |
