There is one on eBay right now, but I think it is way overpriced for what it is.  If it was rebuilt, it would be worth the asking price, IMHO.

That second motor looks like a paperweight to me.  The case is junk. It is missing one of the mounting bosses below the carb.  Unless he has the broken piece, in which case it might be salvageable.

The pictures are crappy, but that looks like a crankshaft from a sportsman.  The sportsman used a drive pulley that was keyed to the crank, unlike the standard motors that used left hand threads.  The pulley on the sportsman is held in place by the internal kick start pinion gear. Here are a couple of pictures.

I don't think so.  I think it is just the angle of the picture.  I don't have another crank available to compare it to.
