Default Interesting Main/Rod bearing wear marks

Here are some interesting bearing marks. Anyone have any opinions as to the wear marks?
These are out of an '02 HO 4.7 that I am in the process or rebuilding. They are factory original bearings in an engine that had 84k on it. The cylinder bores still show the original cross-hatched honing marks from the factory. The rod bearings are marked as STD but there are no markings (other than parts codes and dates) on the mains.

These are rod caps 5-8 from right to left.

These are rod caps 1-4 from right to left.

These are the mains going from rear to front (left to right).
The crank does not show any wear marks on it anywhere.

Looks like its not to bad. You may want to post it in the 2nd generation sub-forum. I will move it there for you.

lots of cranks are slightly "off" from the factory, but it doesnt really look that bad.
