Get a better grip, maybe? Or to cover the fact that the black paint wore off and it was rusting around the periphery. On my '68 C/10 Stepside, the part of the handle that was in daily contact had rubbed itself to shiny metal -- rusting into black paint outside of the contact area. I re-shot it with Satin Black during a 2005 engine rebuild.
Maybe they taped the steering wheel too, and matched the brake handle to it.
Too many variables to know for certain.
Apologies if I answered a rhetorical question...
