The 200 Looks way thicker than the 8 or the 8 much thinner than the 200. Any ideas on this?

Wear on the 8.Either from circulation or die abrasion.

Is it my imagination or is this sort of strike more common with zinc based planchet?

Well since I am trying to learn this , and I know I'm slow,and tried to figure it out on my own. I tried to see if there was any other device that was out of the ordinary to try and figure out why the 8 Looks like it does, notches, seperation, md, and found nothing so that leads me to believe that it's probably just PMD on the 8 or just like John1 said abrasion...

Well sometimes they have damage on the edge of the devices and try to remove it by working on the fields. This maybe just on isolated area or the whole coin. What happens it makes the devices thinner on the altered die area.

If done several times on a certain area it alters the mid devices on a die:

Looks normal to me. I don't see anything wrong with it.
