I'm a novice collector and by no means an expert, but I believe what you are seeing is face Pareidolia. Which pretty much means that you can see a face in the staining and patina. Like seeing objects in clouds or random patterns.

Slight Grease Fill in the deeper devices weakening the strength of the strike.
