The pattern looks acceptable to me. Compare to the photos from Yukon Gear installation directions

The pattern should be oval and not flat on one side like your pictures show.
What manufacturer are the ring and pinion set?

On the concave side of the teeth, the pattern should be nice and oval.

As I'm about to under take a gear change on a Dana 60 front, I'm curious as to how you determined the pinion depth. I've read vast amounts of info on this. The current pinion is marked +2...and my new pinion is marked 0.
