Wear on speedometer gear and inside boss?

[my68barracuda]

The top speedometer gear assembly is the one removed from this F body a833 OD transmission.
the second speedometer gear is in the photo for comparison.

Question(s)
1) are speedometer gears used in the F_J_M body vehicles that also have the plastic main body shaped that way, or is this gear excessively worn?

2) looking at the first photo of the boss inside the transmission housing that is the internal stop for the speedometer gear the boss shows what looks like a worn in spot face, is that normal? Or is there supposed to be some kind of a pilot pin or bushing in that hole on that boss? Or is that boss intended to be absolutely flat? The end of the speedometer gear that rides on the internal boss has some very fine threads spiraling off it like the plastic tip was being milled away.

advice - information appreciated

The carrier has to be clocked to match the gear teeth range. Might have been incorrect?

Photo from Brewer's website- this is what your gear SHOULD look like.

Something's up- like it was forced into a wrong clocking.

thanks, appears that the speedometer gear was improperly clocked, I did not expect it to be bad when I took it apart so I did not look closely at how it was indexed...

What about the wear on the internal boss that the tip of the gear runs on,,,
