Keep the actual bezels. Can quality find those marks physically, and identify where they were before handling? Changing pads now could lose your comparison without answering it.
Our UR5e bezel mark changes sides between the comparison photos

Actual bezels retained. No before-handling photos tied to them. Quality has not agreed which marks fail.
3 pointsThen I'd stop calling them pad marks for now, though keeping the offered pads available for a proper comparison seems reasonable
12 pointsCan you put a recognisable feature in each picture? We had two sides of a round part described as the same mark. The close-ups were sharp but useless for locating it
7 pointsSarah, did you recover the locations from the parts?
8 pointsOur quality technician is using the fixing notch for orientation and marking locations on a sketch, not the finish.
8 pointsJasper, yes. We still had the parts. One line was on the opposite face from the one in the complaint, so we withdrew the supposed before-and-after pair
22 pointsGrace, is the supplier also comparing how the softer pads let go? We can make a lovely contact patch and still hand the operator an awkward release.
19 pointsAny physical decisions back on your bezels?
15 pointsOne real reject confirmed. Other line is a reflection on an accepted bezel. Both retained for the pad comparison.
16 pointsDoes the real reject match the contact area, Grace, or are we still just giving the pads first refusal on the blame?
19 pointsIt overlaps, but no identified before state exists. Cause unknown. David, holding and release are now explicit trial items.
5 pointsCheers. Who judges the finish after that trial?
15 pointsOur quality technician. Same agreed appearance method before and after, identified samples and complete pad arrangements. Supplier accepted that trial scope.
8 pointsUseful. Keep that confirmed reject in the appearance reference, but don't enter it as newly damaged in a pad trial. The missing before condition doesn't become known because the trial plan is better.
