Fingers ground back on front caliper

Just going through and refurbishing some front calipers and came across this one. I am trying to fathom out why the fingers were ground back coz it is now just scrap confuse

Has the pad come out while in use? Or have they fitted a pad from another bike requiring caliper surgery? Option 2 seems more believable.

It looks to have been deliberately ground off.

My puzzlement concerns the caliper pins. If they tried fitting a different pad the base of the pad with holes for the pins wouldn't fit into the base of the caliper confuse
