What we really needed to compare is its shear strength.
I would take a ¾” bolt with its nut on, drill a 9/32” hole through both, clean and lube, stick the pin in, hold the bolt head in a vice, turn the nut with a torque wrench and read how much it takes to shear each sample.
This isn’t scientific but probably practical enough to be performed repeatedly anywhere in the world to help us select the material that comes closest to what you find for the OEM pin.
