300 series ss is non magnetic. 303, 304, 316 etc.
400 series is. 410, 420, 440 etc.  These are more of a tooling steel that gets hardened.

I would suspect the magnetic one is just plated steel. There is a definite color (hue) difference between them.
Clean well and look at backside visual differences in color. Not just surface finishes.

Mystery solved. Have had it out for polishing. The stainless rear aftermarkets are now shiny,  But: The ori fronts are chromed and cannot be polished. Would need first unchroming, then polishing, then rechroming again. To much, not worth, I would say. I think better to get 2 stainless polish aftermarkets, but then 2 more things that are not ori.
