Precisely my point (distant past), customer request or "saving some wear on his grinding wheels" is a patch job.
Eyeballing a "polish" on a crank without measuring it is not something a reputable shop would do.
I doubt if the crank even had a bath after the polish.
The owner himself picked up on the original patch job (grind) AND egg shaping the journal, who knows.
