The brown to the tint they used reminds me of the dark semitransparent paint custom car guys use on chrome...I forget what they call the process but I saw a spray can of the stuff last time I was in my local advance Auto.

Toner lacquer may also work... just have to get a lighter shade of the same color and gradually add light even coats till it matches.

I have a 48 porthole that has what looks to be the same door as you have pictures... the metal needs a recoat on mine and the above ideas are what I have been kicking around as a solution for when I get to it. (Gotta finish the chassis, patch some veneer and spruce the finish before I mess with the metal)
