Hi,

Is this normal? (Assume not) any idea what the issue is, if its not supposed to be like this?

It has fully dried everywhere.

The metal corner bead edge is on show on all reveals. I dont want to question the guys work if this is how it should be, so am asking for advise first.

Cheers

Some times the beads come from the manufacturer with a very light oil on them that can cause this discoloration, it's more common than most people realise. I've never known it to be a problem at the decoration stage.
I'd personally be more concerned with that scrim grinning through on the bead arris. Be one of those loons who puts scrim down every bead most likely?
 
the corner bead edge shouldn't be exposed if it's finished correctly; it should be covered by plaster for a smooth look. Might be worth checking with a pro to confirm, but it doesn’t sound normal.

Mist coat with dulux trade supermatt and this usually covers bead.

It's up to you whether you sort out the scrim sticking out or get moosh back to sort it. You definitely can't decorate straight over it.
