That’s the perfect reference. Mine definitely looks variegated, not powdery. Thanks for sharing that!
It's referred to as leaf silvering. It's a genetically controlled trait common in the Cucurbita genus. That being said those are a bit extreme.
Take a look at the underside of the leaves. Silverleaf whiteflies could also be the cause.
