Hard to say from the picture, If it is a metalic then I would say its a Yamatonishigoi if not the I would say a low grade Sanke.
Yes Sumi can come and go right throughout the life time of a Koi.

i bet you are in hard water area, so the sumi came up like this,
also the sumi starts cover the "hi" and everywhere, that's why i said bad sumi,
Easy to spot the different between sanke and showa is pectoral fins.

so i would say the fish is Kinda Showa

sorry, i only tell by the photo. maybe not right..
