I know it broke because of other reasons and this has probably nothing to do with it, apart from this being a bit weaker. I have not checked my diff yet for these marks, just thought I would mention it.

Yep, that's the Mazda designed in safety point, designed to break at this point in an accident so the PPF doesn't pierce the fuel tank. It is a built in weak point.
