I said it might be a deformation because the resin is prone to shrinkage, and expansion. There are a few variables when casting things in different environments. You can't always control what may, or may not happen in a busy studio situation. There were many people trying their hand at casting for the first time when these were originally made. You also have to take handling into consideration, as no one knows if someone bumped the mould with something, then fixed it later, or the part had air inside the resin that escaped after being cast.
On not knowing: that part in the inset in the last photo looks like a transaxle casing from a car. This could be 1/24th scale, or smaller. It might also have been shaved down to fit. This was done with most of the parts on these.
