That IMS bearing appears to have plastic seals on it. Don't genuine LN bearings have NO SEALS on the sides?

The bearing race is marked "SPC". I did some Googling and SPC generally notates a ROLLER bearing. I'd guess a roller bearing with considerable side load would generate metal chips.

To quote General Buck Turgidson, I hate to judge before all the facts are in, but I think your PO may have been had by an unscrupulous shop.
