You are correct. The grease on the BB shell fooled me first to think that the whole frame was re-painted with a brush as you see done on the seat cluster. It looks like most of the repaint was made only in that area. The rest looks to be original. The OP's bike lock chain and/or pump mount must have really scratched up the seat cluster area.
