Any other codes along with the P0339?
Any chance you could scope the crank and cam together? So we can check the relationship.

I dunno if I'm nitpicking here? But something about this section bothers me:
In every capture, the low section of the tooth right before the sync notch is noticeably shorter than all others.

Can you pull the starter and get a mirror in there? I don't think these 3.8's had much for flexplate access...

That missing tooth part looks OK to me. It falls during the first CMP pulse and rises at about the time the 2nd CMP pulse falls.
What does look wrong is the wide CKP tooth. On the known good it's 3 regular teeth but on the OPs trace it's only two. And the known good has 16 regular teeth left of the big tooth and 15 to the right of it. The OPs has 16 to the right.
I would've marked up the pictures to show this better but no right click

So the toothed section after the high sync pulse has an extra tooth. Now it should be easy to find the damage.
The one I posted was from a 2011 Heep Wrangler. I went and looked at a couple more for giggles, and found the same pattern.
