In the bottom picture, near the left hand side, there is what appears to be a rather shiny BB. Poke at it with a sharp instrument to see how soft it is.

There is NO flat ground on them for drilling the cotter pin hole. Such a flat would not be needed in production.

My guess is that the flat is not a flat at all but rather most likely filled with lead.
