Do you mean sunfading like this? You don't have to use the peroxide, you can just put her outside in the sun (cover up her hair and paint though) like this. Normal sunfading is the most common way of sunfading. Peroxide soaks also leech plasticizer so your pony will be rock hard after.
NOOOOOO do NOT use chemicals!!!! Wrap the pony in tin foil except the spots that need to fade, and leave in a hot sunny spot and check her several times a week.
Normal sunfading could work just as well. At least try before moving to harsh chemicals. She isn't different from any other pony that can be sunfaded really (besides batches and differences and stuff like that, ykwim) Just because she is a bit lighter doesn't mean it won't work. It looks like the marks have faded a bit already, since it looks like navy blue ballpoint pen was used. It would be fairly darker if not faded already. You got her second hand right? You don't know her history so you don't know how much exposure to the sun she has, when the marks were drawn on, etc, therefore you can't draw an exact conclusion as to whether sunfading will work or not. Nevertheless, it's worth a try before you move on to harsh chemicals (I've never heard of people doing a chlorite/water treatment either? Not sure if that would cause harm to the vinyl or hair...)
I'd sunfade her as much as you can and then redye and rehair her.
Also I can't / don't want to rehair ponies, it's far too complicated.

I managed to do my first rehair with a DIY rerooting tool using a sewing needle so it's really not a big deal. I hope I reassured you. ^_^
