All B-2s are gray overall. (I forget the FS no. right off-hand, but someone else here will know it.) The black leading and trailing edges were incorporated only on the flight test airplanes. (I could tell you why but then I'd have to kill you and infect all your computers.) The markings and stencils are done in a darker shade of gray. The apparent inconsistencies you see in the finish are due partly to the material of the surface underneath the paint, and partly to the reflectivity caused by the shapes of the parts.
