If you do not have a sales receipt from the company that actually owns the beer kegs, if that is what they are, and try to sell them back to them, depending on where you live you could be charged with receiving stolen property.
What type of kegs are they? Beer kegs with the fittings on top for a tap? Or are they the cylinders used for soda syrup? Or are they the kegs sold with beer making kits?
Be careful dealing with your kegs. You might want to check out the laws governing the sales of your kegs before you attempt to do anything with them.
So far as your metal block is concerned, it sounds like iron or steel. I know of no application where anyone would need to plate iron on lead, and not sure that's even possible. That would be more likely melting lead into an iron box because iron melts at a far higher temp than lead which melts at a very low temp. In that case you would see welding around the edges as well. But if it's one uniform block, then that probably means it was caste all at one time. If there is very little rust, that might mean it's more steel, if there is a lot of rust, probably iron. But remember also, steel is iron with carbon.
