Oh, well I thought I remember Obito explaining to Naruto that Nagato was using his abilities as the Outer Path of Pain to "create" Rinnegans in his Impure World Reincarnated bodies that reflected his own Rinnegan, but they can only use it as long as he's pumping his power to them via chakra receivers. So maybe the Rinnegan pattern remained on the male Animal Path, but it didn't retain and of its copied abilities from Nagato?

Because I mean, the Animal Path was replaced by the girl, and she had ANOTHER set of Rinnegan eyes. I get that the dead male Animal Path had the eyes even after the removal of the receivers, but I bet they're about as useless as Madara's Rinne Rebirthed body after Obito revived him. (When Madara was revived and his fake Rinnegan eyes disintegrated shortly after)
