I think that Haynes divided when the should have multiplied when converting Nm to ft/lbs. The 617.95 manual specifies 70 Nm for that bolt, which converts to approx. 52 ft/lbs. If you do the conversion backwards, what do you get? 96 ft/lbs!!!

The bolts are not brass. The corrosion-preventing cadmium plating just makes them look like they are.
