Somewhere near the end of production, these trim rings went from polished stainless steel to an anodized aluminum using the same stamping.
I recall seeing these being used on the later Monza Spyders and Sunbird Formulas with the black rally II wheels. The anodized aluminum rings, if not stained, appear much lighter and brighter but the shine is not as deep.
Stainless on the left, anodized aluminum on the right. The difference is very noticable if one of each is used on the same side of a car.
