What exactly is your question?
The top and bottom both appear to have considerably more wear than the middle. Have you ran all three of these? And all three are causing issues?
Have you replaced the spring that pushes the ratcheting halves together? They get quite weak over time and will allow the kicker to not fully engage, which instantly leads to a slipping kickstart motion. The OEM spring's stiffness is a bit weak, and leaves a bit to be desired as it ages.
