Had a thought that maybe I dented the backing plate while beating up the old disc.
Turned out to be this - there's a high point on the backing plates that was just kissing one of the rotors.  Was right near the centre, but was able to replicate it by spinning the hub by hand with the wheels off and in neutral (cos AWD). Was actually inside the braking surface so hasn't hurt the rotor at all.

Pulled it all apart anyway and cleaned up the hubs like I should have so I don't have any future issues with uneven wear.

Momentarily thought I tore my exhaust open Tuesday jumping a gutter (trying to) Turns out it was the front 2 turbo nuts missing & landing on the exhaust cracked the seal open enough for me to hear it.
Just went to do them up now & found a 3rd nut was finger loose good thing I heard it when I did!
Saving a photo of this setup so I know how to do them up next time, such a C#%@ of a spot! fd54ae76be15425710a9ad53e9c17bbf.jpg
