There are some lines on the top of the axle housing, but they are not grooves. I cannot scratch them with my fingernail.
There is a small gouge at the 5 o'clock position of the axle housing, near the outside. I believe that occurred recently when the axle broke and wheel fell off.

From the looks of the damaged bearing surface, I'd be replacing that axle tube with a good used one. Be sure to check the differential for correct fit when doing this. There should be just enough pressure to have a very slight drag.
