The way it looks to me, is that it was in a wreck some time in the past which caused the bumper to collapse the end of the fender and cause some paint chipping. Instead of replacing the fender and repainting, they just fixed the bumper cover and painted that instead, leaving it to rust. Salt wreaks havoc on exposed metal though
