I saw many brand new ceramics like that when I worked at Zenith, that obviously met specs. Never had time to investigate why they were like that, but now I wonder if it was a way to tune them to within 5% in the capacitor factory by etching away some of the metal.
EDIT: or, of course, it could be unintentional but acceptable.
