Undercoating

Idk about the black stuff, but that looks like you used a rust converter on the rear axle. Certainly doesn't look anything close to the amber cosmoline I did my trucks chassis with.
Also never apply another rust inhibitors that are lanolin based over petrol based ones. you can get a reaction like a buddy of mine did when he sprayed cosmoline rp-342 over fluid flim he'd done a week before. His taco had the drips, and had to be done completely over.

that could be what happened here... sprayed black cosmoline over dirty black woolWax
rear axle areas were sandblasted to shiny silvery surface to remove crusty buildup that was forming and then primered before applying woolWax many years ago
i sprayed brakleen on there to remove the drippy fluid change that overfilled and all the primer come on off it back to silvery surface then sprayed black cosmoline on that surface

Use one or the other when applying these inhibitors, or take a chance your in for a mess. Petrol based cosmoline works extremely well on new/clean surfaces. The lanolin based stuff is probably better to cover already surface rust/scale. It's just going to need constant reapplying.
There's a reason bmw, and mercedes coat their chassis with cosmoline instead of a lanolin rust inhibitor.....cosmoline lasts years. Even the military uses cosmoline.

It's too late for any undercoating when you see large holes rotted in your frame.
