There were both brass and chrome plated versions of each hinge.


First you said they were identical, now you say they are different.

It would help to give a manufacturer or model or something to go on. Hinges
do come in different qualities and can look similar at a distance. Metal
thickness, plated versus solid,

A bright nickel plated hinge can be 50% more than bright brass plated, but
solid brass will top them all.
