Some of the Essex class had the forward end of the island painted black, including the flag bridge. Midway has its flight deck level of the island painted black as well. I would agree with the exhaust discoloration idea. The island "black face" seems to have appeared in the 60's and hung around until the 80's. It doesn't appear to be used on every carrier. It may have been left to the discretion of the deck department.
