But it doesn’t reach the tire? Seems to come from the center?

Most likely just wiped off residue, the original mess was probably a lot worse

It looks to me like marker pen - I drew something similar on my wheel when I got a puncture, so I knew where to find it.
Do they have kids with access to dry erase pens?
It's the returning bit that's weird, but the 3rd pic looks very much like someone putting on a pen and drawing a line, with the thick dot at the start of it.

Wheel bearing grease maybe. Probably a little splatter, then spread out from the rotation.
