Oh just to clarify, 2 of these pictures are the same rotor and the third one is one of the rotor that are good. They both came in their own boxes.
What do you mean by “coated rotors”? Some rotors are coated but not all. Do you have a link to where the rotors were purchased? Rotor manufacturer /brand? Perhaps the product description will shed some light on what’s going on.

So these pictures were taken after trying a brake cleaning spray?

If the holes were drilled in after the rotor was cast, it’s possible it’s from the drilling process with a cooling fluid being used. It seems like it all starts with the holes.
