Brake dust

I know that typically the front hubcaps have more break dust on them but only my driver front has a lot of black stuff but not the front passenger hubcap. Is something wrong? Off balance?

Front driver's side hubcap has a lot of black "dirt" but the front passenger has none. Something wrong?

Do brakes work well? Do it have 4 wheel disc brakes?

You could compare PAD WEAR of the front wheels. Obvious less wear right or left somethings wrong.
