FE was stainless
Fc was Chrome well so i was told.
I assume they went steel/ chrome as stainless would nock the hell out of the dies and its probablly cheaper.
A lot of guessing on my part im sure i will someone will correct me if im wrong

That's right, fchoon. FE are stainless, FC chrome steel. The later ones are much harder to dent, but the early type last pretty much forever.
Both have their pros and cons I suppose. I believe the chromed steel ones were cheaper to manufacture.

i prefer the stainless variety, as you can usually get a good result with buff polish rather than re chrome
