Those mean nothing to me.
Some have say, 82V as in VW rod journals at 82mm stroke.
P means Porsche.
C means Chev rod journals etc.
All on the front counterweight.
Show me a photo and I will tell you if it is cast.
Either way have it Magnetic partical crack tested.

Mayt the 76 refer to a 76 stroke?

I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

It looks steel but let me see the front counterweight.

Looks steel
If jum show us a picture of the crank from the front, or rear, and turn it 90 degrees, so we can see the forging or casting line, I could tell you for sure.
The forge line is about 12mm wide, while the cast line is only about 2mm wide.
