The bluing loss looks to me like blood stains. Blood will remove bluing pretty darn fast. I had a byf41 with the same issue across the toggle and upper receiver. The vet that sold it to me told me the deceased German soldier was bleeding pretty badly. He just holstered the weapon and the next day discovered the bluing had been damaged where the blood had been.
