Another vote for nickel over brass.
Until you have it in your own hands .... the bottom might still be genuine vintage ...

Everyone here but me has probably already noticed this but for the heck of it. Does having the text 'TRADEMARK" on the replica printed as one word vs the originals having the text "TRADE MARK" as 2 separate words look like a good tell?
If anyone knows for a fact whether Graflexes are nickel plated or otherwise, I would love to hear from you.
Very curious about the chrome versus nickel plating as well. The little I know about plating brass is that chrome doesn't stick to brass very well so it needs to be nickel plated first then you can chrome it. So I'm pretty sure they're all nickel plated, the question is just whether or not any of them have actual chrome on top of the nickel
