Anyone know what would cause a camshaft to break ?
This is from a 1994 4.5 liter land cruiser engine.
Does not look like anything else is wrong.

Just spitballing it here but maybe a hung up lifter. Something stalled it or it was just it’s time.

Oil Pump Issue?
Does the oil pump run off the chain end or the back end?

I would suggest taking it to a metallurgist, and get a report... Could be deeper problems than just a broken camshaft?

Yes but this is what it looks like with the head pulled,
the first ones were taken through the sparkplug hole
Now we have 2 engines.
