Changing CMA lever seals
- Chert
Unless your water source has dirt somehow, you should not have dirt there. Scale is a possibility. You removed the liner or do you see the "dirt" when looking up into the group? Do you have pictures of that too?

Clear seals - never seen those before.
I don't see any dirt, a bit of white scale, but nothing serious.
The black appears to be Copper(II) Oxide. If you can't scrape the black off with your fingernail, then it is Copper(II) Oxide - which you want to keep as it is protective. If you really want to remove it, then Citric Acid works. You'd be exposing the brass, but that's only a small bit of brass and the Copper(II) Oxide should come back fairly quickly (again, a good thing).
As an aside, that doesn't look like a CMA group to me.

You could use a vinegar soak as well to remove scale with a good rinse. Depending on the machine and whether you use a puck screen grounds and oils can get sucked up into the group. It can look like dirt.
+1 on oxide not being a bad thing.
