I think that it's due to a mosaic virus, which afflicted the fruits that were harvested later, but not the earliest fruits to be harvested.

Edited to add that I just cut open a couple of the mottled fruits, and there is abnormal looking tissue under the yellow areas of the fruit. Kinda corky looking.
