Pardon my ignorance: would a Guildite back be attracted to a magnet? Never tried it.

I have, and the answer is no. I was hoping it might be an easy way to identify a Guildite case under uncertain circumstances. It is not.

I agree that it does not make sense to place Guildite on sterling...

But it might make sense to rhodium plate sterling and call it Guildite under wartime conditions. After all, it's not like marking for precious metal content where you have to be accurate. Guildite can mean whatever Gruen wants it to mean, including rhodium plated silver if that was easier to source than stainless steel.

I'm going to trust Jack's experience and firsthand observations here.
