Tim, I didn't look at the picture closely, but it's easy to tell the cast from forged crank - the cast crank has hollow rod journals and they are solid on the forged crank.

I'm not sure just what you mean when you say it's not a "Packard" product, it's a product of Studebaker-Packard and there is a disclosure of it in the S-P service bulletins a few years after 1956. The bulletin has been cited and posted before when this was discussed.

Perhaps someone else can lead you to the prior thread on this.
