Wind Shield Washer Jug Shield

Well, learn something new every day!
I've never seen a windshield washer tank with a heat shield so I looked up the illustration in the Ford parts catalog. It doesn't show anything to do with a heat shield. Just out of curiosity I look up the part number of the reservoir and right below that is the listing "Heat shield, windshield washer reservoir". Never knew there was one.
I searched for a picture of one but couldn't find anything.
Without seeing it I would say your assumption is probably correct and the finish is galvanized like the splash pans.
Part number for '73 is D3TZ-17B646-A, 74-up is D4TZ-17B646-A.
Probably no surprise that no dealer or obsolete supplier has any.

It's listed as a HEAT shield in the parts catalog so my guess is to shield the plastic reservoir from exhaust manifold heat. However, if that's the case, why didn't they all have them when in fact, apparently very few did.
tasboj thanks for the picture, now I know what they look like .
Chevmn56 I just went through a similar problem with the Pumpkin. I was trying to find some way to refinish the inner splash pans which are galvanized. Mine were pretty rough looking and nothing seemed to "look right" either. I looked at the spray on cold galvanizing compound, no good, looks like gray primer. I even looked at having the pieces re-galvanized, that was a no-go too, that finish is just a rough, dull gray finish like you see on galvanized bolts.
What I ended up doing looks really good (at least I think so ) although not original. I used Rustoluem "silver hammertone". I comes in a rattle can, applies easily and looks really good. It has a semi-gloss shine and a textured finish.
Here are how my splash pans came out.

The '73 did have the "Power-pac" option, that's what Ford called it. But when this option was ordered, they moved the windshield washer reservoir to the passenger side splash shield.
