Could've been just a greasy hand when it was off and not hot. The patina can then build differently there because of the residue.

That’s exactly it. If you touch the exhaust pipes of a motorcycle when it’s off, it will burn an imprint on when the engine is on. The oil burns and leaves a print

Ok good cause this made me much more sad than making me laugh. Happy to hear this person likely did not suffer burns because of this.
