Normal tranny gear wear?

Normal tranny gear wear?
Had some oil leak at transmission inspection cover area, so I removed the cover to remove old sealant and put some new ones.
Found some gear wear marks and not sure if it is normal wear or I should be worried.
Metal shave on magnetic drain plug seems fine and normal (no metal chunks).
It is 03 EVO with 5 speed, and have been using mostly Redline MTL / MT-90 mix (2:1), tried Amsoil MTG MTF mix (2:1) once, but liked Redline mix more.
~47k miles on Odometer and a few track days per year, but never raced in competition.
Might try thicker Redline mix (MT-90 2 part and MTL 1 part) to have more gear protection yet acceptable gear shift when cold.
Hope gurus can comment on the gear wear. Thanks!
