For real?
Yeah I would love to have some pictures, side profile, rod cap, and front on if you could. Essentially as many pictures as possible.
However even with those images I am not an expert enough in metallurgy to tell 100% if it is forged or not without a cast reference. But it would be better than any pictures I have seen so far.
On the n55 crank shaft it is easy to tell if it is forged or not because you have characteristic traits of forged crank shafts: the wide parting marks, the rounded counter weights, and a comparison between a casted version which shows the distinction between parting lines and counter weights to affirm that.
