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?

The brakes are working just fine.I don't know for sure if the all four have disc brakes or just the front two.

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