The white paint says "fire" to me.

mold i have seen this before on a few other inspections, some remeadiators after cleaning the wood will spray on a paint to fight mold called " Killz" as a preventer of it coming back.

White can of spray paint. Pattern on the rafters give it away (picture 3). Covering up water stains or mold - I wager.
