I'd say the VPB easily can go longer. Overall, a "typical" diesel UOA. In other words, very decent and encouraging.
Iron seems "normal" according to the report, but is that still break-in wear at 40K miles? I'm used to looking at Dmax reports where Fe is typically a bit lower, so my frame of reference is likely skewed. D-Roc could certainly shed insight here.
"Cummings" makes a great engine ...

BTW - I used Valvoline PB 15w-40 since I bought the truck brand new... (in case that makes a difference)
Just in my amateur opinion, I think this is a good report, defenitely nothing to be worried about. If anything I would re-run the same oil and maybe go as far as the factory warranty OCI (7.5K?) would let you and then re-sample to see how the iron trends.
I thought about the Break-in stuff...
The towing my truck does could be probably done with a Toy Prius Hybrid... it is just a little trailer, mostly used to move friends furniture, and a sometimes she tows a jetski... So you can't even feel the trailer attached to the truck....
long story short, maybe she is still breaking-in...hehe, who knows...
