They look forged, you need to get a picture of the end of the rod to verify it is a stud/nut and not a bolt

They are forged...took a closer look at the picture and I can see the other end of the stud

Forged. A dead give away is the nut vs the bolt on PMRs. And the small end of the rod doesnt taper down at the very top.

Make sure at the least you have the magnafluxed for cracks.
