I believe they painted the interiors of the swingsstar and the royalstar spickled grey. The superstar and imperialstar had clear lackered interiors.

I've seen such paint also in late Star drums (the predecessor of Tama).

Guess it was just to imitate Gretsch and others, without a sound

effect. Perhaps also to protect the inside of the shells? I don't know.

Nothing to worry about and to my opinion original - and not been done afterwards.

NB: or is this still a STAR snare drum? What type of badge is outside?

Most likely a common STAR wood snare drum, produced between 1966-69.

Not earlier - not later, due to the type of the snare strainer.
