[TR] Early TR4 windshield cap and cockpit trim

   This is quickly becoming the majority opinion.  Even several people who initially reported no magnetism tried it again with a bigger magnet and found some slight attraction.  This says "stainless steel" to me... presumably triple-plated, with the copper layer responsible for the brassy look in spots where the chrome wears off.
   Mystery solved?
