I would clean the carrier bearing sides with some emery cloth. That should remove most of it.

The rust on the ring gear mounts I wouldn’t worry about it. Clean it and run it.

That's a brand new carrier? Why does it look like that?

Sat around in a shop forever

bearing surface sat in water for some time

water got in the bag it was in

I'd run it in a crawler no problem, but for a street truck I'd def be cleaning and inspecting that bearing journal something fierce. Honestly, its probably fine in the end

I'd bet most if not all of that will come off with a little oil or wd40 and scotch brite.
