I was going to say some of my undies have similar stains, but thought better of it.....
If you are referring to staining through iron, or other contaminates in the water rather than a build up of you-know-what, try a dose of oxalic acid which should be available from a decent hardware shop.
Cheers,

A liberal dosing of Nappy San and leaving it overnight has worked for me in the past both for mineral stains, and general filth (not mine!)

We had the same, blamed old GI water pipes (or previous owners had major bowel problems...
)
Replaced all the GI (leaking & rusted) with poly, & missus attacked the rust buildup in the dunnies with an old dinner knife - had to chip it away, bugger of a job by all accounts
.
Old dinner knife? I think it was...

If it is a build up of you-know-what, try a narrow sharp chisel and scrape away.

Just saw an ad on TV . . . How about C.L.R
Instantly removes CALCIUM deposits from glassware, decanters, tea and coffee pots. Instantly removes LIME scales from coffee makers, humidifiers, tubs, toilets and sinks. Instantly removes RUST stains from cement, stucco, porcelain, chrome and metals."

Got the same problem, and even CLR didn't work, despite its advertising. Apparently this is some iron oxidation from bore water. New toilet is the next option.

Be careful using a sharp tool to chip away, I'd reckon you'd be best not risking chipping/scoring the porcelain.

Got the same problem at the scout camp with the bore water.
Tried everything, pressure washer, acid, CLR, chlorine bleach.
The chemicals aint good news for septics.
The easiest and fast way is scrape it off with a knife or a long screwdriver.

I think this was discussed some time ago.
I have noticed the glazing is not as good in the bottom of the bowl as the rest of the pan, consequently IF you get the stains removed they will eventually return. Bite the bullet and replace the pan. Last time I looked Bunnies have white Caroma S trap pans for around $70Jack
