After some careful measuring, removing the pulley and general cleaning up I
have confirmed the reason for the spokes on Austral 351 not lineing up. It
is not the crankshaft as I first suspected but one of the flywheels as
slipped on the key:

I will have to get the key out and the flywheel off to assess what needs to
be done. It will still be a big job but not as bad as having the pull both
flywheels off and repairing the crankshaft!
To rebalance the engine someone had added some metal to the other flywheel:
