The gas-axed off bit looks like the RHD mount for the brake master cylinder.
With all that welding around the mounts I'd reckon that the chassis rails will have cracks too. My bog-standard 100,000 mile BN4 had a variety of cracks, enough to warrant replacing the entire chassis.
Your kingpins have been replaced at some time and should have been rebushed, also those finned drums are from a late BN4/BN6 which are marginally better than the original ones. Get them balanced if you are going to keep them- I did some a couple of weeks ago that were over four ounces out.
