A cloudy white would most likely be silver oxide. I have never quite understood what peroxide does to EIS. It seems that it should immediately oxidize the ionic portion, which this seems to indicate happened with you, and evidence suggests that it breaks up the colloidal particles, but does not oxidize those. Silver oxide has a solubility in cold water of 13 ppm, so I would guess that most do not see this because when they have done this test before, the ionic portion did not exceed 13 ppm.
