Weird Plasma Colored XS off eBay

Got an interesting pair in today from eBay- a XS Plasma that seem near X Metal dark (with free junk lenses and rubbers!)

At first thought it was a clever fake, but seems to match all legit. It does has a SKU faintly of OO6011-04 for Plasma.

Compared it to another XS Plasma and noticeably darker.
Compared it to two other X-Metals (....don’t have a XS X Metal yet) and noticeably lighter.

I will dissemble and Ultrasonic clean it (it is filthy), see if anything changes.

Is this is a normal oxidation?
Normal color variation?
Something else?

Thanks for the feedback, I had to order a new gram scale.

Everything seems legit (minus weighing), was more curious on if this type of discoloration is normal, or something else.
 
I've seen that discoloration before I don't know of somebody was playing with the finish, or they used scotch brite to clean it.
