There are safety reasons why dummy ammunition is made to look different from regular ammunition. It is so it can be easily identified as such. There are never primers in dummy ammo, and normally small holes are drilled through the sides so it can be easily ID'd as dummy. As you have mentioned, some is also chromed and some is fluted as well.
Might I suggest that you, at a minimum, have the primers out of your dummy ammo, and give consideration to drilling 3 small holes on the sides of the cases. While authenticity is important for re-creations, an incident or accident does more harm to people in many different hobbies than the good which comes from ammo which appears live.
If you want to re-wrap dummy rounds (or even small blocks of wood for that matter) it is too easy to print up your own wrappers on a computer and fill most of the case that way. Just go with the more expensive dummy rounds on the top layer.
