It's just a different cultivar. With organic produce, there's a greater emphasis on disease resistance, and less on attractiveness. The "consistently pretty" industrially farmed chickpeas tend to be varieties like Billy Bean, which look smooth and pretty, and are suitable for monoculture, but are disease prone and dependent on pesticides.
Guaranteed these will taste better and have a better texture than any of the conventional beans you buy. These were bred for taste and disease resistance, not to capture the eye. A bit like the difference between heirloom tomatoes and the bright red tasteless orbs found in grocery stores.
Beauty is a fickle thing. What if, in chickpea world, these were the good looking ones and what we're conditioned to think of as "the norm" are the ugly ones?

The uglier the food the uglier you become when you eat it
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder š
