pests Shiny brown leaves - disease, sunburn, pests?

Some of my C. Chinese larger leaves have this shiny brown thing on the underside ONLY and what's wierd is sometimes its not the whole leaf, its like exactly half the leaf. It doesn't affect the whole plant, just maybe 2 or 3 leaves. All my new leaves since plant out are fine. I'm wondering due to high winds, some of these leaves did go upside down, so the underside were exposed to the sun. Here are some pics:

ONLY half has this "issue"

After some time, the parts with the "issue" get yellow

Another strange thing is the edges of some of my leaves are brown and crusted and broken. I'm thinking it could be fert burn or maybe the winds beating the hell out of them and ripping them up?

I've been checkin my plants daily and pinching of these trouble leaves in case its fungus / disease so it doesn't spread.
 
Wish I could help you out but I have no idea. Really weird thing going on there. Good it's not affecting new growth :)

Hopefully somebody can give you a useful answer.
