The extractor guide pin hole is deffinately the thinnest point of the breech and a hard line may appear to be there because that may have need the start of what happened.
I do also agree that SOMETHING else happened here other than just pulling the trigger. The fact that everything blew out the back suggests that maybe the hull never opened up. Or maybe some sort of failure at the brass. Were the hulls used many times over?
It does not look like everything came out the front of the shell as it should have.
There is no damage or bulge at all in front of the chamber. And the blow out originated pretty much in the first inch of of the chamber.
