I think sometime in the past, that bearing has (temporarily) seized,
possibly due to swarf being caught in the rollers, and forced the inner race
to turn on the "shaft" (actually the diff carrier).

The bearing race is much harder than the carrier ... the carrier gets the
majority of wear.
Loctite makes a "circular parts mount" that is supposed to be able to fill
gaps up to .010" and restore light press fits. Never tried it on a diff,
but it works good on my front hub.
