Following your comment I had a scramble around biketrader, eventually found an image showing the same bolts. Pain in the hole as the image quality on there aint great.
I can see where you are coming from though they do look a little odd

Didn’t know you had a mop/grinder. You could use these and get the finish on the guard and the bolt heads you want. Scotch bright mops come in varying grades
If anyone is thinking of buying one of these kits to convert a bench grinder to a polisher make sure your grinder has enough guts to do the job.
I bought an excellent kit from, I think, the Polishing Shop, only to find that my bench grinder was totally gutless. Spinning a stone wheel gives plenty of momentum and you don’t put very much pressure on it. With even a 6” mop it’s a different ball game. You will be pressing the workpiece fairly hard against the mop, and, yes, it’s a messy job.
In the end I repurposed the 2hp motor from my defunct compressor, it’s a real beast. So much so that I will be buying 8” mops in future.
Having polished the stainless steel heel guards on my Ducati you will find that, whatever boots you wear, if the boots touch the guards you will mark them.
I’m not sure whether it was the anodised layer slowing me down or as you say the machine itself not having guts. I must admit though, when u press hard on the mop it does slow down a tad. Initially I put it down to the amount of compound I was putting on the mop.
Agree re mess I will do it outside next time not nice at all.
The coating on the footpeg hanger was so tough I had to use a multitool on it with abrasive pads to get it down to bare metal before I showed it the polisher.
With regard to the mess I have used my welding helmet in the past but definitely a hat and one of those Covid clear face shields.
Ta I will try and locate some of those.
