Even stainless can rust in the right conditions so the rust on 61-63 deluxe caps could be expected, but not if they are brass.
Hope this will help 1963c-10, this is an NOS 61-63 chrome cap, as you look on the back you can see the brass peeking through where the chrome didn't take. I see this on most of the original caps.
