I believe that early TR4 gauges were shiny chrome, but at some point in 
the TR4 run it was changed to flat black. If you've ever seen the 
reflection of the setting sun at your back -- but still shining in your 
eyes from the chrome trim rings -- you can understand why they'd switch 
to flat black.

Or possibly it was just cheaper. ;)
