I have a set of these on my early TR4 CT1798L.  Unfortunately I am out of town so I can not try the magnet test.  

There is definitely brass under the chrome as I have a couple of worn spots on the cockpit surrounds.  Whether it is a plating or not I am not sure.  Visually they look smoother than the aluminum pieces and generally don't have the surface scratches that you get on the aluminum.  The chrome is shinier as well as the anodizing has a bit of a matt finish.  They are much heavier as well.  

Most aluminum cockpit surrounds have some bend damage at the B post from catching on clothing.  The chrome ones are much stronger so the few I have seen are undamaged.

No idea as to value.
