EDIT: Or maybe the "jig and pucks" picture was the "new" housing all along and you painted it black afterwards?

Looking at the pictures it looks like paint was scraped off. So may have cleaned and painted the "new" rear end, and then repainted once the work was done.
I bought a new housing (never been installed) used. I don't know if it came from the factory painted or was painted by the first owner. All I know is I got a good deal on it compared to factory new.
