The cam runs in the block - no idea if it has separate bearings, the Haynes manual doesn't show any.
I did look up at the cams and they looked great though, no signs of wear or scoring on the lobes

That oil pump looks well past the newness wearing off stage. Did you check for side to side play of the shafts in the housings?

Not checked for side play yet. But yes, it does look quite chewed up. When I swapped sumps and pickups a year ago I wasn't looking that close, but I am sure I would have spotted the wear if was that bad at the time.
Fortunately, I have a spare front housing (which contains the oil pump) along with a spare set of pump gears. Not looked at it for a decade, but I will fish it out of the shed, give it a clean up and hopefully I can swap them over. The pump cap looks fine (a few circular marks but that is quite common).

bearings don't look too bad but the oil pump is not great which would suggest the filter is doing a good job, any clue as to where the metal is coming from?
