Having never owned a Bushmaster, or any Line SI product, is it possible the "blue" look is from the same stuff they "blue" guns with?

Come on dude post your photos, you know you are an SI Whore.

the old Line SI bushy i had, its unibody, had a California Air valve body, with a modified Lapco T stock and braided steel line to the ASA and valve body...it didnt have a blue tint to it..more of a dark purple tint? LUKE would be able to tell you as he currently owns it

Nope.. gun blueing is slightly different....
Bluing (steel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anodizing aluminum
Anodizing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Both are an oxidation process... but that's about where the similarity ends.
The blue/black of old paintguns was partially from the color of ink and also the aging of the coating (sun exposure, wear, etc)
