Hupcap question. Metallurgy?

I bought a set of 3/4 ton dog dish caps. Couple have hairline cracks around the edge no biggie I thought. I hit them with a magnet non magnetic . So first guess was Stainless that someone painted, got out the mushroom grinder and its gold in color. Second thought they possibly could be SS chrome caps that someone painted. But the copper color goes all the way through the metal. And I seriously doubt that they would have used copper. So it must be an alloy of some kind. Any thoughts?

I need to know what rod to get for the tig welder
