Dipstick Tube Copper Plated

I degreased the pan for the 289 tonight in preperation for straightening and enlarging. I was surprized to see the lower half of the dipstick tube copper plated. Was this for corosion resistance or a chrome plate reject?

May it be a homemade replacement made from copper tubing?

Copper flux to solder it to the engine?
