I frankly do not understand how striker guide impact to the frame relates to or interfaces with the toggle duckbill strike to the frame. I am hoping someone with knowledge will comment.

Both strikes happen at the same time. The spring tension on the striker guide also serves as a buffer.
Edit. Those heavy inside marks could have got there on 3 70% oveload shot tests for all I know.
