That is a DA finish. Sometimes the folks doing the counter sink work don't pick the best side and it gets turned out so the scratches show. Rather than scrap the piece or send it to some poor unsuspecting smuck like me to fix, they get after it with a DA sander to clean it up and make the finish uniform. I had to fix these with the finish sander mentioned above and was able to get most of it out. If these were to be left raw instead of powder coating, they would have had to go back due to being too deep.
It is a good match when you consider the tub and rail above the armor are the stock color. Incidentally, the next one I had painted, they completely freaked out because I had them color match the paint to the powder coated grill. They said the color was too far off for it to even be close to the stock color and they used that as an excuse to try and get out of the color matching correctly. If you were wondering how that went for them, they did respray it all with the correctly matched color finally. Same color as above.
