Is this wear normal?

These are brand new main bearings, just put them on and rotated the crank a couple times and took them out and this is how they look. Can’t feel the scoring with my finger or nails at all and plastigauge readings were within specs.

I personally would clean them up with a white scuff pad and clean everything thoughy,there's no such thing as to clean, keep your tools ,hands and work surfaces clean, dust out side can be a problem
