These two gears are supposed to be perfectly aligned. If what appears in this picture is correct, there was a serious problem in the original assembly and this would very likely be the cause of the failure.
I think it may be an optical illusion, but anyway, the tranny picture I believe is from a Chevelle application, not the same tranny, but the picture of the single gear is from the tranny, comparing it to the damaged tranny from the other car, showing it's the same failure.
