Art,

The only times I have heard of one leaking was either after an accident and the engine slammed the firewall, or someone tried to hammer the fuel rail back in place after replacing injectors or seals. The rails are CAD plated soft brass as you stated, I found that out after my wife's crash 9 years ago almost to the day.

From everything I have seen, the rails in 92 and 93 are identical and should swap right out, to the best of my knowledge they are the only ones with pressure test valves. But of course one can never rule out a late model 91.
