What is shown in your pic of the bearing race (cup) is "spalling". That is metal fatigue, not rust pits. You need a new bearing and race. Your current bearing and race is a failure waiting to happen. First,the diff will start to growl, and then maybe a bearing roller pops out of the cage and finds its way in between the pinion and ring gear. Then you've got all sorts of problems. And expense. Do it once,and do it right.
