I think you can see where the disc lip has been hitting the pads backing plate!
Also one of the discs had lost it spring (anti squeal? )

The disc was more gone than the pad, rubbing that way.

Far better than the low pad warning display/lamp that our cars use was on a Honda that my brother used to have. There was spring steel tab built into the pad so that when the pads got low the steel tab would drag along the disc. The incredible racket it made was impossible to ignore  (like I did for months on my Omega  ::) )
