Hope you get it all worked out. It appears that you just had a catastrophic failure as all of the rods and crank were destroyed.
I wouldn't say they are all destroyed. They all show dark spots where heat built up. From what I have read and researched, that is usually caused by the oil not making it to the right places. I wouldn't think that to be an issue with a new motor. Especially when I carried good oil pressure.
