I see nothing scarey here ...
Those marks on the basket look like the normal machining marks, see pic I found on fleabay. I would be surprised if the basket had got warped or anything like that, and the inner part is a floating spring loaded assembly so can all be a bit deceptive on how true it is all running. The bare patch on the casing, I have seen bits like this before, can't explain this one but would guess a bit of post-cast machining, would not worry about it - loads of clearance there. But if you could put up a video of the bits spinning, sure people will put up thier views..
Do you get the vibes if you rev it up in neutral to the same as when you get them riding ? (with the clutch released, if so what when pulled in ? and then in gear pulled in and stationary ?) You may then look other than engine internals ????
Looking at your other thread, I know you say the chain has not done much graft, but it has sat around a long time, and it makes me wonder about sticky links.
Look at your chain spinning the back wheel slowly on center stand and make sure it comes off the front sproket smoothly with no kinked links.
But I may be barking up the wrong tree, hard to know without seeing/feeling in person. Hope this helps and don't cloud
