Once i installed the bronze gear the cam wore into the bronze gear and left these exact kinds of chips!!!! Once it wore in it was fine until i sold the car which was about 10 years. I am thinking maybe they dyno tested your engine with the bronze gear and this is the leftovers since you said you have a steel gear. I would not pull the motor if it is running fine!! JMO

The only problem with that is the
oil pan is new from a few years ago.....these scraps are new and the distributor gear looks fine.....
