Yikes! That's a serious looking hole in the sprocket cover.
Would it be safe to assume that these are not the original sprockets? My guess would be that whomever installed that countershaft sprocket the last time possibly did not torque it to spec.
With that sprocket and chain wobbling back and forth on the countershaft, I'm surprised that you weren't able to feel or hear it when metal rubbed metal.
What a bummer, Cormanus! Hopefully this will not cost you too much financial pain. Since you were already going to replace the chain and sprockets, it looks like the only extra parts you'll need are the cover, bolt, washer and screws.
