If you had the unit in your hand and no part numbers or original packaging, how can you tell the brass versions apart from stainless? Magnets won't work....
What mentioned above, plus the cap will eventually crack and/or the chrome gets scratched That's not a problem for stainless. Chrome has more BLING, for a while

Well, I can't really speak for all chrome caps, from a crack standpoint, they were made with at least two different materials.

Hmm, $650 a cap plus govt. share. That's a BUNCH. I paid $200 a piece for restored stainless, though 2WD. It's about priorities and depth of pockets. Perhaps the seller isn't that far off considering the condition and rarity. Only question is desire.
