Yes, indeed.
But I have seen this on other combat and bravery medals (this is a merit medal of the brass suspension and connecting ring type). It would probably be possible to explain with tribology. Brass against silver must give high wear on the brass. Don't know why.
Don't show any sign of it being opened or replaced for at least the last 50 years or so, most likely longer.
