Ironfish is refering to the corner buckles, those get tumbled in a vibratory tumbler for a few days to soften any sharp edges, the water in there darkens the aluminum and so you can see the marks left by the tumbling media.

is there a photo; before unmarred and current showing the marks?
The old spreader bar set used to have a 4" middle piece (male/female ends). You had a choice of using it or not.
Without the 4” piece, you are deeper “in” the hammock; there is more of a side wall. As a side sleeper, it is nice to be able to press my back against the side wall. I’m glad I have the older spreader bars.
