Can you take a photo without the potato lens on? Can you feel any features (larger than the honing marks) with your fingernail? The vertical scoring? The apparent scuffing/deposition of material in a band about 1/2-2/3 a bore diameter down the hole?

If you tap on photo it should make photo clearer, has a score mark on number 5 guessing the rings have failed, a little bit towards the top of cylinders on all but nothing extreme, and no scorch marks on the others, cheers

The third photo down looks....like to me like the cylinder had water in it and it sat for a while  That would create a rust ring.  This would have been removed when the motor was used but would have left a cavity around the bore at the water mark  where the rust ring was.

You also have a vertical scour mark, this could be a snapped/badly gapped ring or gudgeon pin/circlip issue....you won't know till you pull it apart.
