Hmmm, good question. Could be residue of some kind. The muzzle might have been marked orange at the factory to indicate a non-functioning example, but somebody forgot to remove it before putting it on display.
It could also be packing material to protect the barrel because it appears to be obstructing the muzzle. Could be a plastic piece that corks the barrel and is secured in place by tension or by snapping onto a few muzzle vents.
Just my guesses.

I know this is a late reply, I am always busy with either work or shooting and off roading.
I point to western products failing because I am sick and tired of western assholes with their "USA (or German made) is superior! Everything from China is cheap junk!" when I have seen so much instances of the opposite. It seems to trigger them too when I point this out which is another plus for me. I have many people ask me what optic, ear pro or whatever accessory to buy and I won't put my name on garbage. I also want people to save money and get their moneys worth, so I won't recommend "high end" gear either unless its the only viable option or I think its really worth its price tag. Before I cared about quality and price, not where something was made but now I will support quality Chinese as much as possible, only buy American if I don't have any other viable option.
A good example is Howard Leight Impact Sports and MSA Sordins. I own and use both along with Peltor Comtacs and many other electronic ear pro. The HLs are cheap, made in China, work well for the vast majority of shooters therefore are the most common sight at gun stores and ranges. They aren't military grade but aren't advertised to be either, yet I've seen plenty of LE and MIL guys use them too. They are by no means perfect yet I haven't had one fail from use. I've heard of guys using a set for over 10 years before they finally died for good and being as cheap as they are, they simply get a new set. They are typically $60-80 in stores but can find them $40 or less on Amazon or pawn shops.
MSA Sordins are made in Sweden, very expensive, typically seen in LE/MIL circles including spec ops. I had a set that kept shutting off from recoil causing my stock to bump into it, and finally died from less than a year of use. After sending it off for repair I find out the battery box has a poor connection so they replace it with an improved one. I am not the only person that has had this issue with Sordins and I am glad I got mine from a friend in a trade. No way I'd spend nearly $300 on a new set.
I haven't seen that meme you're talking about, but I always see "if it ain't murican made it ain't shit!" mentality almost everywhere and I will challenge that all the time, which is why I will point out their failures when I see it.
If Norinco wasn't banned, me and other friends can definitely see them overtaking the US market as they made good quality, reliable weapons at lower prices. Holosun can do the same if they keep producing good quality, durable optics with good QC. I believe that is what people are talking about in the first place about dominating a market. Of course no product will dominate anything just from existing.
Yes I am aware of that smuggling operation but I find it hilarious the US govt has no problem arming everyone from Mexican drug cartels, the Contras to "moderate rebels" in Syria.

It’s a plug. Bore plugs are common at arms shows prevents idiots from trying to load a weapon. Displays also often lack firing pins.
It's not just the helmet covers. Look closely at the uniforms under the Ghille stuff, it's the same pattern. This looks like a bad pr photo.
OPFOR?
