Sounds a bit implausible that that happened to two of them.

Nope, not given what there is on those drives.

Its likely that the scarring has seen magnetic material on the heads,
or at least one of the heads has actually come right off and its the
remains of the head mounting that has scarred the platter.

Likely because the drive cant get the basic info off the drive to work out the size.
