Help me identify what metal this staple is.

I recently got 2 Gualco 46 from my teacher after complaining that I didn't like normal cork reeds. I happened to really like them but now I need help to find what type of metal plating.
I've looked on oboe-shop where they sell these staples and there are 2 contenders. Silver-plated and rhodium-plated.
I've asked my teacher as well but she didn't buy the staples and also got them from someone…

What is the gouge thickness of American reeds?

I noticed recently that my reeds are quite thick (0, 58 mm approx) for being a European scrape. Just curious.

I recently bought a gouger with diameter of 10,5mm. What diameter of cane should I buy? 10-10,5 or 10,5-11mm?
