Is that rust on the lower left backside pic plate B? Chip/flake on lower right front side plate A?

On plate B.
It's not rust, just something discoloring the paint.
The chip at the bottom is bare metal, and the chip on the top has a slight oxidization, but easily removed.
And plate A. The top chips on the left corner, and the middle are obviously older chips, as they have a slight oxidization.
The bottom right chip is newer, and is bare metal.

All of the chips were on them when I got them, and they've been stored inside since then.
and that's been 19 years.
