Default Lifter Wear

I installed Knight Prowler platinum lifters in my 08 96" TC back in the fall. The lifters have less than 1k miles on them. I noticed that there are vertical lines on the rollers. Two dead center and two off to the side.
Should I be concerned about this? Is it normal to have pattern scores like that on the rollers? I haven't noticed any performance issues. The valve train is a little noisy, but I attribute this to the TW-222 cams that I also installed.

They look fine to me. Wear or witness marks are inevitable with two metal parts under pressure.
