Of course someone messed with the original Kenyan one if it really does exist or it is a modified doc from someone else's. Or the Kenyan one is simply generated from scratch as a forgery. The background imprint in the paper is simply to washed out as you clearly show. Jpeg images would be uniform throughout pixel by pixel. No distortions would be inherent. All a jpeg image is are obviously multiple lines of either ones or zeros within each pixel cell. Little room for repetitive messed up pixels unless the binary file that represents the image was held in a computer with one hell of a lot of faulty memory address during it's brief existence before writing out as a file. And that is extremely unlikely. One would be quite aware they had faulty RAM in their system for many good reasons I could go into but will spare the reader. Likewise if one had a number of literally bad areas within a number of sectors on a given track or multiple tracks on a CDROM or on their main Hard Disk where the file was stored, similarly one might remotely consider such uniform washouts to occur within a given stored file. But that is so unlikely based on how we see the washouts within the magnified image you show.
One would in either case above also see parts of the type print also washed out.
