Diluting the oil with fuel is a serious issue in any engine.
It reduces the oil viscosity (which was down to 75% of spec), which is especially bad when warm, and results in bad lubing, thus increased wear.
Though I don't have any previous analysis to go upon, the aluminium content in the oil is too high, and iron is way too high.
The lab doing the analysis compares it to same / similar engines in their database.
