1936 type II chained dagger recent acquisition and question

[Rich Moran]

I'll start with the question as the question is to provide thought provocation more than anything else.

With the designated type I chained SS dagger having plated components and type II Nickle silver, was not the Nickle silver pieces earlier production than the type I plated daggers?

The reason I ask is that as commodities became scarcer, would not the non magnetic pieces be earlier production thus actually having the type I and type II designation backwards?

I know Wittman coined these terms but to me it seems to be backwards.
