or groove between the sleeve and casting, but the picture is not totally clear.
When I openned up my SS sleeved calipers, all 4 had similar scoring
on the bores. reference my second picture above:

I'm told this is from rotor runout pumping the piston back and forth.
It looks worse than it is, and polishes out easily enough.
When in doubt, buy new ones - I guess.
