Belt buckle finish?

I pulled these today and ready to polish the left one and pack it away. Real happy with it. As you can see the right one has a a few scratches. One scratch somewhat deep, the others light. So I'm wondering is the surfaces have a coated finish of some kind? In other words, if I sand the plastic to say 1500 grit, am I going to ruin this or can the surface sand to like new? I've read the steering wheels can be sanded to perfect. Perhaps the buckles are the same.

Thank you.
