See the red circle? That is the opening for the maneuvering system. Reentry is done belly first (black tiles). Makes sense of the pattern of streaks around the nose.

As for the payload bay doors, it is likely that some residue propellant was localized around the dooring during it's extended mission. Going through the atmosphere along with the heat may caused the "browning" of the tiles.
