"stain definitely goes over the green paint" Seems like it to me. Whatever it is looks to be corrosive to the paint (black on green and red paint), much less so to ink.
Not sure if that gives any clues to the substance?
Something that would make me think not "cleaned with wet cloth" is the faded outer stain on both looks like they would have done this on both.. as in they saw it didn't work at all and just made things worse, then thought "I'll do it again!.."
I don't know honestly, but its hard to think of a way in which this was an original scribe (they presumably knew what they wrote and what was ruined). So it seems later, plus a confusing (to me atm) sequence of events.. but them doing the same "fix" on both even though it was not very good isn't impossible, maybe they just hadn't seen how it looked once dried yet
