+1. Regardless of good or bad maintenance, parts do fail. Some stuff just breaks. Good maintenance...
BTW, I don't think your guess is far off. The pieces in your pictures almost look like the chips that would be made during a lathe or milling operation.
If you still have the oil filters, it might be worth cutting them open to see if you find smaller particles in them. This would give you some idea if stuff is getting past the pickup screen.
