Jim graciously posted the all the Parts Catalogs on line over the winter.
Here's the '51 Frazer list -

The 1951 Frazer catalog lists only plastic buttons("Button, door remote control push rod, starlight pearl"), part number  204863 for all models - F515, F516.

I've never myself actually seen the plated metal ones in 49-50 KF products as KWZ states, but I will take everyone's word for it that they do exist, and likely, were a sensible replace for the plastic at the time. My 49 Kaiser has the plastic ones, and I have always wondered what I would do if the plastic failed due to age...

To be fair, The only '49s I owned were a Virginian and a Manhattan, so if the Kaiser Specials and standard Frazers had plastic, I will take everyones' word for it.
'48 Kaiser Special
'49 Kaiser Virginian
'51 Frazer Manhattan convertible
