Headlight chrome trim, painted?

[Stevejaguar]

Hi, whilst looking through my Series 2 parts list I came across the following on page B17.

The chrome surrounds, eyebrow etc and bead along the bonnet ( BD35668,70,94,69,71,95) are all as expected listed as having a chrome finish.
However a little further down the page the same parts albeit with different part numbers are listed as painted 'for Australia only'.
That seems strange to me.
Does anyone know why chrome items were not fitted to Australian cars?

Mercedes did frost the late Pagoda chrome parts, security measure not to blind someone, regulations afaik.

Same here ?

Here in Australia, I have never seen painted headlight trims on any Etype.
