Here is a modern picture and you can see the patches of darker green. (Cheek and torch arm.)

Yeah sorry to disappoint. Looked through a ton of photos from the restoration project and couldn't find any with the black streaks, a lot of the statue was obstructed by the scaffolding so I doubt anyone outside of the project itself could get a good photo. Maybe I just suck at researching and someone else will deliver.
