Thank you all for your responses. Kind of sad knowing that the pickguard might be on the way out. I wonder if this kind of thing happens with Hummingbirds and others.

Over the last few months, I've noticed a strange phenomenon happening on my 1968 Dove that worries me. It's always been stored in its original hard case and is humidified in winter. When I first noticed it, I thought it was just a dull scuff kind of thing. I polished the area and thought that was the end of it. Then today, while doing my weekly refill of the humidifying device, I noticed it was worse. Do I need to remove the pickguard to spare the guitar? Looking for advice. Thanks.

Strange marks suddenly appearing on my '68 Dove pickguard.

Thanks everyone for your advice and thoughts. I have taken the Dove to a reputable local luthier here in Chicago and am having the pickguard removed. I'll save the inlays and the screws for another day. I'm also having the bridge plate replaced. Other than that, they tell me the guitar looks good for its age. Thanks again.
