I think the metal cap for want of a better word is soft iron to protect from magnetism. It is also the only thing holding the movement in the case. -

To me Gun metal is a type of bronze, used of course for making fire arms. -

I'm more of a Bassett or Rowntree fan myself, I've never thought to find a particular breed of dog or a garden feature inside the sweet containers either 😅 . I grew up in a sweet shop from the age of six, i think all the E numbers i ingested as i was growing up helped to make me a bit loony tunes. -

is it secured in the brass plate with shellac? or wax? I like this repair, but would a balloon chuck also work? My guess is not as well as the brass barrel you made -
I think you are right. I can see now that the case would have been blued from new with a finish similar to the inner surfaces of the opening case back. As you say, there's no easy way to match that finish at home (obviously a home chemical blue such as the gun blue isn't quite acceptable). I will stick with cleaning with soap and water in the ultrasonic and consider the tarnish to be part of its charm.
