Green Stripes on 1503

Could somebody please explain the purpose of these green stripes? If I had to guess, I'd go with guides for a polishing that didn't go ahead.

Pretty sure it's just a post-service sticker. It doesn't mean it was or wasn't polished.

Usually they are put on after polishing to avoid new scratches or scuffing on the bright surfaces before a sale.
