So hard to tell but I would guess the right side screw wasn't painted them, and it looks like you have one of those inspection tags like mine under the left screw?

There was a heavy coat of dark grey paint on the underside and a light mist coat of color on top. Both screws were surface rusted, and there was the remaining short portion of the inspection tag under the left screw. Under the tag the inner fender was lightly coated with rust. The car sat for many years in the desert mountains of Nevada with the hood removed.
