Man !
those cross pins are solid. I'me surprised that broke.
The 4 small pins in my LOKKA shore off when I broke a front hub.
4WD systems and our NZ importer will tell you that the pins will only shear off if the setup clearances are out of spec
BUT ....
my diff is MINT with no wear and all clearances are bang on their spec's and they still shore of.
Anyone else had their pins break even though the diff clearances were within spec

You say your diff has no wear and the clearances are how they should be.
The clearances have nothing to do with the CW & P. It is the diff carrier side clearances that are the issue and these are not necessarily correct for a lokka even when not worn.
Check out my post here;

check the pinion gear and lokka pins before getting carried away putting together

yea the pinion gear has a bit of damage but is fine to use just a bit of rounding.
Lokka looks fine
