Hey guys new to forum. Trying to make a decision on this 686 but what to know what could be causing these wear marks as I have never seen them like this before in this location any ideas of what could be going on?

As others said, fitting marks. I've seen a Model 60 no dash that's just like this.

Part of the hand-fitting/gunsmithing back in the day was simply that parts were manufactured to less repeatable tolerances. You can generally remove a little material if parts are made slightly oversized.
 
Welcome to the S&W Forums. Looks like fitting marks to me. S&W's are assembly line produced items, so it's not unusual to find machine or file marks and sometimes less than ideal fit, finish, and tolerances.
