deansbimmer is correct, the engine literally threw a rod whilst on the motorway. Impact went through the top of the block, hit the starter (you can see impact point further down the starter). Bent the starter upwards and snapped it off the block.

We did not attempt to start the engine once we pulled over.

In the second picture just above hole on the left, there is part of a piston ring. On the 3rd picture between the two ports you can see a spring thing, that's the piston oil ring.

I should be taking the block apart on Saturday so will update with more broken engine parts
