I just had a look at the scrap E11F top joint I have and the trill key guide on that is held in with a single wood screw on the top side.

I unscrewed it and had a closer look and it's made from cast metal as it has a very feint '1' in relief on the underside.

If the exposed base metal on the broken one you have has a grey appearance like lead or tin, then it's a zinc alloy casting. If you have a replacement, then heat the broken one up and if it melts and leaves an empty shell of plating, then it's definitely zinc alloy.
