the early ones (not sure if up to '72) were metal, the later ones were plastic - no matter if black or chrome

Sooo, would that go under the "Good Advise" or "Bad Advise"?
Snap - "Plastic"
Snap - "Plastic"
Snap - "Hmm, plastic too."
Snap - "Amazing, also plastic, wheres the supper glue?"

To discover what the grills are made of, I took a pos one and broke it to little pieces. Well, I really smashed it for fun and its made of plastic that is chromed.
Maybe early ones are metal. 
My advice is to think before you leap and don't blame anyone else for your mistakes!
Dan, gonna make it to Korijos?

The replacement ones available are plastic. In both primered and chrome. I just ordered some.
There might be metal ones available in about a month.....

As a slight asside from this thread, I have found that you can repair cracked and broken fog light grills with Acetone. I have a box of broken grill parts I use to build up sets for my cars and for friend's cars.

I know somebody who might be able to "chrome" the $40.
