Actually that one right of center is the result of the laser blasting the rock. See the animation below.
If those patches are indeed varnish, then they may add something new to the Jezero timeline, since these are now outside the crater.
For completeness, this is a view of the Ouzel Falls abrasion from the new point of view of #Perseveracne, which the rover made about 10 sols earlier.

@tom30519 we're thrilled to see #Perseveracne rover's pet rock. We decided our Percy needed a pet as well. What's the official @NASA name for the pet rock?
We're deciding on a name for ours!
@65dBnoise and @tom30519 thanks to your excellent Mars photos, my 10 year old nephew and I have been following the adventures of #PerserveranceRover and the bacon strip. Today he decided to recreate Percy frying some bacon in the backyard!
An excellent detailed report on the state of #Ingenuity by the team's lead, Teddy Tzanetos.
It confirms that the images received today were indeed a motor spin test ahead of the anticipated for the next few sols flight 29:
