Comments from Submitter:
The parts listed are all more commonly found in flat silver than they are in pearl light gray. It would be incredibly unlikely that the parts are more common in flat silver because of set 7179-1, where most appear as an alternate, because that set was a limited release and significantly less common than set 7168-1, as well as this part #64251 "Bionicle Fist with Axle Hole - 3 Fingers" is more commonly sold in Flat Silver than it is in pearl light gray. As that part did not appear in set 7179-1, it could not be from that set and must be an alternate from this one.

Sealed set unboxing showing all pieces in the lovely new flat silver color at
the time:
All of the pearl light gray pieces are well established as having come in the
first production run of this set, so all flat silver pieces are indeed alternates
for the later production run.
