1960 Hiatt question

I now have 2 pair of these cuffs and at first thought they were the same but when I looked closer, one has rivets and also has a different finish. Both shiny but one has a more "silvery" color to it.

I looked in this gallery and one is listed as a light model and looks to have the different finish as well.

My question about the finish is one of these Chrome and the other nickle?

What makes the one model "light"? is it just the chain difference? I know my "light" model also has a much lighter action.

When I first started collecting, I read back through years of Posts. It was interesting to learn about the cuffs - and who were the grumpy old men!
