I have torn down several small block stroker engines that had normal width bearings installed instead of the N that should have been used. Damage was more severe around the outer edges of the bearings and around the full circumference. One of them actually spun a bearing. Based on the pic I would start by checking the big end bore of the rods and micing the edges of rod throws on the crank.
