This is fast coming down to excessive vibration, or poor quality springs in my opinion, I just cannot see a bit of wear on the crank journal causing this.

Ok well this is better news. Clutch assembly and three springs fitted were OEM to rule out aftermarket quality. 
 

vibration would be :-

needle bearing old/worn

clutch drum old/worn

sproket old/worn

owt else?

I am just trying to think why you couldn’t fit a 254 clutch on it, I will try it when I get a minute.

Why would one do that?

Because i think there is an issue with springs sir, the 254 clutch is a different design and as you are on .325 and a short bar it may be a better option.
