It's very likely the two calipers came from different sources. I've replaced front right and left calipers that came in boxes with the same labeling from the same parts store and were obviously rebuilt at different work stations, if not at completely different rebuilding plants. In a recent case, the calipers had different size bleeder screws, and one had a rubber dirt cap on the screw while the other didn't.
One of your caliper probably got a rust preventive coating, and the other didn't. Bare cast iron will rust very quickly. Rust on the outside has no effect on the performance of the caliper. This is "much ado about nothing."

Yeah I'm not concerned with the performance of the caliper, I know it's brand new, well a reman anyway, so I will get many miles out of it. Plus the ones that I took off, the driver side was almost rotten it was so rusty and it was the one that worked fine, the passenger side looked new and both inside pistons were seized in their bores, so the way it looks means nothing.
Just though it was strange that the driver side rusted right up again, but whatever, guess it's just a coicidence.
Thanks for the discussions guys.
