"Given that someone has apparently reanodized the crank, unless the original purchaser is definitely known I'd say it's doubtful any guess of the history/mileage of the crank would be reliable."

You can be assured that these cranks have been re-anodized as these cannot be the BMX version which did not have the inner ledge for a chainring, only the outer one. Like Kurt, I suspect that these cranks were already badly abraded which is why they were re-anodized. Given the extent of the pre-existing damaged area, I can't imagine there not being any noise coming from the crank.
