Look at the orbiter for comparison. There is discoloration along the front end of the payload bay doors. The wings during entry shield the back end of the payload bay doors which is why it tends to stay whiter than the front. It also helps to know that the main OMS pod is on the nose of the orbiter. The discoloration is consistent to the angle of descent during reentry.
