Steve,

i don't "think" that would be factory paint. my understanding is that
the drums were delivered in black, i am going by memory here and not
sure if that applies to '70 (though on one of mine, that seemed to be
the case). as the car was already painted before the drums/rear end were
installed, i can't see how it (overspray?) would have happened at the
factory. i'd tend to think it happened when/if it was repainted BUT i
have also learned to "never say never"!
