. . . why do I always see (via spectrographic software) the ultra high-frequency dusting of noise from DSD sourced recordings, whereas most of the PCM sourced recordings look clean up in the same regions. It may be all PDM at some level, but, obviously something is causing this difference - right?

BTW, your statement "recording engineers who record acoustic music originating from a natural space (unlike a studio recording) prefer DSD to converted to PCM as more like the analog mix" is one I think no one could possibly take issue with. But by the same token, I'd think that most engineers would prefer PCM (if the recording started out that way) to converted-to-DSD. I mean, just on general principle, that's the way I feel.
