The inside of the lid shows a great deal of wear paint chipping and flaking where the outside just shows ageing, ( reworked exterior).

I agree, silver solder is an option and works with brass onto steel joints but brazing is cheaper and using phosfor-bronze brazing rods makes the heat control less of an issue. I have seen this referred to as "welding" but of course it isn't because welding involves both components being melted and fusing together which can't happen when one has a vastly lower melting point than the other. However, solding and brazing both work.
