Yeah, it looks like you have some abnormal main rod bearing wear. the contact occurs only on upper half of the bearing towards the end of the crank pin. I guess the crankshaft pin is not running true in the rod bearing. Either the crankshaft pin is bent or the bearing is not aligned correctly in the rod. The rod does look a little messy. Probably still tight but just wears funny.
