Headlight bezel/bucket resto

Started stripping my 65 down today and have a few questions.
1. How do you separate and then(more importantly) reconnect the bezels from the grill?
(I assume the factory used these "tabs" with the 2 slices to lock the grill into the bucket...but how do you reattach?)

2. What are the buckets made of? Do you send them out to be rechromed? Polished? Are the anodized like the window trim?

Any picts, tips, things to think of would be helpful when it comes to restoring these.
Thanks!
