Don't know, but I'd assume that you have an early production set before GE reduced the manufacturing cost.
I guess that Bob Anderson does not want to brag, but he also has a GE with a silver-colored front plate:

Some of those knob plates went so ugly during the set's life that they were refinished. Since the lettering was indented, it was easily done.
