Likewise with the KPA3 option kit I recently received. There is little
difference in the texture of both sides. The finish does have a slight
crackle appearance to it, but it is very slight.
Does this really make a difference? I assume the 'troublesome' one has
a coat of finish on both sides (if not, I take that statement back and
you should ask for a new plate). If there is a bit more of a crackle
finish on one side vs. the other side, I can't see if it would make any
real difference, black is black, and I don't look that hard at the rear
of my K3 nor the inside.
The paint shop likely just sprayed one side a bit longer than the other
side, and I would think there is nothing more serious to it.

It is conceivable that a metal working shop might assume the surface with
the flush screws faced the exterior for appearance sake, rather than the
engineered aspects.
