All i can say is that these badges were used by soldiers and having been a soldier for 32 years i feel qualified to comment. In all my time in the Army i never heard anyone call an anodised aluminium badge or a chromed badge anything other than a 'staybright' badge.
Now as an old fart collector, i understand the need for categorising them otherwise. I have many examples of both chromed and AA and refer to them as such, but if the truth be known, they are always 'staybright' to me really!
