The Bruce must be one of the few designs that will tuck under your bowsprit at that size. Not sure one of the newer hoop/Rocna-style anchors would stow as easily! I assume it's the only anchor you carry up on the bow?

Mine are gold colored and stamped with "G7" which are the right ones. I sprayed it with cold-galvanize (= zinc spray) for extra protection.

I only carry the Bruce but have a retractable bowsprit (that can come out 10 feet) on the other side. When I would switch to a Rocna I would go down to a model of around 100 lbs because it has better holding... or so they say. But my Bruce has proven itself in a couple of hurricanes so will stay.
