Yes, I encountered with a similar problem while seeking a brass Talon slider for my M-422A. What looked like a brass slider in reality was a nickel slider as evidenced in this photo. This slider sure looks like it was made of brass to me ! But, as a matter of fact it is nickel.
This Talon looked to be brass. That is until you put it in your hand. This is how it looked when seen on the jacket itself. Yes, as seen and not unlike the jacket in the auction to which you were refering the whole zipper assembly on this jacket is brass with the noteable exception of the nickel Talon slider.
So as it goes, I believe that it is just plain difficult to figure out if a zipper assembly is nickel or brass when seen from a photograph.
