No bead exposed anywhere as far aa I can tell. What you see is the top of the Light Bicycle carbon rim, with the bottom of the Vittoria tyre side wall having a different colour on it from the rest of the tyre. The band on the side of the rim that looks like a rim brake braking track, where my fob is pointing at, is the bit of the side wall of the rim that got scratched by the mud trapped by the chainstays (despite the 8-9mm clearance).
Here is a picture of the non damaged side for comparison.
