That sorta makes sense. As I recall, most of the chromed (actually Nickel AIUI) styrene I've seen over the years is not solid, but sorta translucent, so it sounds this would have been an interim color while they were transitioning production from chrome to white, shipping the still-to-be-plated stock before moving to the new, solid colored stock.

That's my theory anyway.
