Iv'e seen some pistons made of a hard black material, that resembles something that looks like plastic or bakerlite, ( if anyones old enough to remember bakerlite ), not that iv'e specificly seen it on NSR's, but certainly on varios bikes over the years, so would imagine thats what they are. Still dont help you though!!!.
