Possibly the straight pin has become eccentric by seizing. The gap in the photos might confirm this. Line boring is a good choice, but having the equipment is something that most people don't have.
If you need to rebore I watched a Utube vid about repairing a large excavator bucket wrist pins that had been rewelded.
This was a simple method using a 1 1/2" solid shaft by 4' long with a fly tool bit and it was supported by self aligning pillow block bearing. To power the shaft it was hooked to a heavy electric drill with reduction.
I could not find it if my life depended on it except by the Utube description.

Could you repost a few pics like the red outdoor pics but left and right views but alittle more wide angle. The up close ones have me confused.
