The rust looks to be a characteristic of an engine that sat for some time and got moisture at the top of a piston.
I am guessing the some of the rings were stuck?
The scoring is not on the pressure face of the pistons. Since the skirts look good, I would try to free up the tight pin and then run them. Any high spots can be cleaned down on the pistons, File, stone, sand paper, something like that.
