The thighs demonstrate the "fake painted-on highlights" impression I got when I first looked at this. The left image has no specular map, so the highlights just appear naturally as a consequence of the shape and the relative locations of the light source and the viewer. On the right one sees vaguely the same highlights, but they look too sharp and irregular, and on the upper thigh there's what looks like a double highlight.
