Hello Goo;

    I'll take a guess at this. The rhodium plating is not appreciably
    whiter than the platinum, so maybe it's there but it isn't obvious
    because you can still see the palladium solder, which, although it
    is also being plated, appears to be a different color because, in
    reality, it has a difference surface quality and is reflecting the
    light differently. Maybe burnishing would help. That failing, I'd
    bur out the solder and get someone with a laser to fill the pit, then
    forget the plating.
