The rivets would have been aluminum, like the majority of the airframe.
Some steel rivets are used where more strength is needed - a patch over a window opening (an odd modification) would not be such a case.

Yes, why would you patch over a window like that? It seems strange. Maybe she really was on a spy mission for the Navy, as some have suggested over the years.
