I'm familiar with the Junction Box James refers to, and I agree that it is copper-plated.

I don't know why, maybe because wartime production was shared out to all sorts of industries to make things they had never made before, and whatever this company normally made before the war was copper-plated, so they just followed their normal practice and it was accepted by the Air Ministry.
