No doubt the wear could be natural. In person, it would probably be easier to tell if it is contrived.

There are a bunch of other dark areas on the faces and backgrounds where the surface has also been worn away/affected, so it's possibly 'normal.' Just think it's important to note this fact for the benefit of anyone who's investigating the piece.
