Cup & Cone bearings - Shimano RS80
Nothing major I am just curious 
During regular maintenance of my wheels I noticed this on the cones. This is not in indent, more like a bulge out (second photo is more apparent). You can feel it with your nail. It is on BOTH sides of the hub, left and right. The wheel is/was fine, was doing regular maintenance, can remember seeing this before but honestly never looked.
I cant imagine this being normal, how could it happen? Manufacturing defect?
Photos are left and right side of the front hub.
After careful examination I have also noticed that the wheel axle is slightly bent or at least the hub is spinning a bit off center on the axis - only on the left side (cca. 0.5-1mm) The bearings were replaced and re-lubed, cups were adjusted perfectly, the wheel has no play and spins like it should.

It's not on the bearing surface so won't affect its running. Most probably assembly tooling marks.0
