Take a brush with warm water to them and see if they come off.

Looks like substrate to me. Try the warm water/brushing to see if it cleans off.

My leopard has LOTS of dark spots on his leg scales, but it's pigment and you should be able to tell the difference, especially after a rinse.

Did you read the answers in your other thread?

Personally, I think those grey scales are markings. Darker pigment making "spots" on the legs.
Best way to know for sure, give a warm bath and try to brush the legs. If nothing comes off, it's probably just the coloring.
Next time post an "after bath" clearer photo ;)
