Are these boards that have been reworked/repaired or straight from the assembly line?   How many boards exhibit this anomaly?   What is the appearance of the gold fingers?

Subject: Re: [TN] Discoloration on plated over vias

l'oeil est fraudé ? Peut-être. I believe something is bleeding out from the

parts, but with no discoloration. If the answer is negative, I think even
stronger, that the issue is connected with the two packages.
