Has any other MP owner noticed this strange darker-lighter coloration on the newest MP model? 
 

it gets lighter around the advance lever, shutter speed selection, etc …

Perhaps give it a clean with an ear-bud and some pure isopropyl alcohol.

Reckon it's just body (hand) grease causing the discolouration.

Agree, finger grease, moisturiser, sun cream, burger grease, etc. Maybe the surface has more texture than before and is 'absorbing' more grease. It will be ok when the entire camera is covered evenly.

      ...clean it up with isopropyl alcohol, only to immediately restart the 'greasing' process again? I reckon 250swb has the right idea.

Clean up the camera and don't eat Cheetos while shooting again.
