Issue with plastron or just shedding?

Hi, I noticed that pieces of plastron seem to have peeled off or damaged on my diamond back terrapin. I'm not sure if it is something I should be worked about or if he is starting to shed. I have attached a picture.

I was under the impression that the scute pieces would shed in complete pieces and not in small pieces like this. Thank you.
