Apologies but I disagree with both statements
1: If goinig into an Elefant frame then that oval wear is no issue as the pivot pin doesn't need to be and is not supported by any part of the case and unless something is out of alignment should'nt touch so - not scrap
2: If you didn't want to bore out those cases to accept the SA bearings, which actually is not that tricky a job (easier with the cases seperated but done in the factory with the engine bolted together), you could put bearing in the swingarm like the 916,996,998 etc etc,
I think calling it scrap is a little bit defeatist
