That is absolutely part of the crank counter-weight.
And something def happened to the counter-weight that I circled above; for some reason it's the only one that's been knife-edged?? I feel the two are related.
Someone absolutely touched the crankshaft for some reason or another, and in a very backyard hack-job special sort of way.
And the fact that you took all those pics without rotating the crank at all shows that you haven't fully inspected the crankshaft 100%.
What's going on with the engine that made you pull the heads, drop the pan, and remove pistons and rods? You're this far along, just pull the bearing caps and drop the crank.

I agree.
Look to the left of the red circled area where a chunk is missing.
I don't know how OP could miss it.
Yup--new crank time.
