as HJW,
if you log onto the British Dressge website and look under rules, under equipment and dress rules it clearly says "a mix of metals in the mouthpiece are allowed",

No, I don't thinks so as a D ring copper roller has more than just a roller in the centre. That would be my interpretation but could be wrong.
