The original oil filler cap on my TR3B was silver.  After twenty years in a
barn as the restoration got parked the remnants of silver (and some red
overspray from who knows what it its past life) are hard to see, let
alone match to something.
My guess would be silver hammerite. It was commonly used throughout the British car industry where they wanted a tough oil and rust resistant finish.
