The pictures of the damage reminde me of photos of the Cummins 6BT Killer Dowel Pin failure. I wonder if the part that caused the damage got so chewed up you could not find it.
If the cam broke, and it is an interference engine, I would consider re powering the genset. Who knows what else is wrong. There are a bunch of MEP-003 engines around, including at least 2 sellers with new or rebuilt in SS classified. Realize this doesn't help if you power is down.
The only time I bent push rods when engine was running was when I tried to burn though some very old fuel in a utility tractor. The varnish gummed up the valve guides. I got away with freeing up valve stems and replacing push rods. Were you using good diesel? Any chance it was over heating...
