Well Mike, I was similarly puzzled...and the only explanation I could come up with is that maybe the machine had been regularly overloaded and therefore overheated and that that had caused the solder in the commutator area to soften and under centrifugal force migrate to this new position.
Jeffrey in his previous post states "it should not be there" but going further I wonder if, in that place, it manages to conduct, then might that cause fatal interference in the magnetic functioning/fluxing of the armature's poles?
Clearly wE need the views of an expert in electric motors!
