I do not think this artifact is caused by reflections in the optical path. I think this is due to software correction of light falloff as a function of distance from image center (i.e., vignetting compensation). Normally such correction is not very noticeable because the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is high enough. But in this case, the image is so dark, that ...

This is the kind of thing one might see with an SLR lens that has an uncoated filter on it.

In addition, if the surface is plastic, most abrasive compounds you would use ...

Polishing is only the last step in a series of steps to get a clear finish.

If you want to get those ...
