Cool Instrument Panel Correct Finish

I'm just starting to get the plated parts redone. I've checked the Judging standards and can't clarify the correct finish for the instrument panel for a Oct. 1928 Sport Coupe. It appears to be "Bright Nickel" or is it Butler finish?

I'd rather make it right the first time. What's your thoughts?

According to the standards, Butler nickel was until June 1930 when they were changed to bright nickel. In Sept 1930 butler nickel was specified for 50% of production. Also beginning August 1929 the Town Car (not the Town Sedan) used butler chrome.
