Do they both appear to be stainless? A 1953 Clipper that I once owned had a set of very rusty wheel covers while the replacements were stainless and could not have rusted. I suspect the rusty set had Korean War Chrome over steel, which was typically 1952, but I did not notice any subtle difference in manufacturing such as you showed so if you can determine if one of yours is steel and the other stainless it may provide a clue.
