I don`t think those pads last 134k miles, at least in mine they completely broke apart at 100k, so it`s possible they have already been replaced and those bits are from a previous set got stuck in the sump. As suggested, check camshaft deviation, that will tell you more about their condition. You can also take a look at them using a borescope if you have one if you pull the green caps at the camshaft position sensors. If the deviation is out of spec, don`t use the car much because the pads will eventually disintegrate completely and the chain will destroy the actuator and can jump timing.
