Good question, but it's one of the few that I've seen with that "discoloration" in that area.

Since the tail structure, except the elevators, were made of Beech, I honestly don't think it was exposed to exhaust gasses hot enough to discolor the paint.

That's great, I've never seen a 'flow diagram' through such a facility before.
