It might have been used in a race and the Shimano (sponsor) might have been put on at that time. I'd leave them.
The white band is to protect the frame from the front brake hitting it if the cockpit turns all the way (usually when standing or being worked on ) so that could be removed. It might have some scratch underneath. Or not :)
