Looks like a standard King/Link pin front end.

King pin - vertical pin
Link pin - horizontal pins (2)

no Ball Joints

Yup - definitely a K&L beam, just like the others have said.

Sticker on the RHS shock tower looks similar to one on a new Brazilian beam I got recently, so it's possibly a replacement one at that....
