Look at the inner tray and see if the discoloration line matches the top edge of the tray, if it does I'd suspect a bit of moisture and the brass tarnished a bit. Unless it's rough I wouldn't worry about it. I reload all mine and use stainless steel pin cleaning which cleans everything off the brass. My cases turn that darker color in a couple of days after cleaning. If I polish them in media then they stay bright but I really don't care about appearances.
As long as they feed, fire, and eject they pass the test.
