Curious about the two-tone color to the wing root-fuselage fillet/flashing near the cockpit. AFAIK, this is a single piece of metal - wouldn't it be the same shade?

The gentleman pictured is Frank Royal, who served with this aircraft's squadron in the South Pacific and undoubtedly flew it in combat. He has passed since the photo was taken a few years ago.
