It's not PKA as it has one of the linkages missing.
CZJ lenses are pretty good but not upto the West German Zeiss standard.
I suspect if you try a general photography forum rather than a Pentax specific one You'll have more help on this. The Manual focus forum (forum.mflenses.com) would be a excellent choice.

Was no 10 at Knockhill? I think I recognise the location but if I'm right it's a bit of the circuit the far side from where I have to work, that I've only visited in the course car a few years back.
My overall favorite is the night shot of Brands.

How does the battery compartment door build quality feel?
This has always been noted as a weak point on the AF-360FGZ. With it's other features this could prove to be a worthwhile replacement!

First of congratulations!
That said: what a hard luck. Not sure about the bent lens. Does it shoot round corners? That could be useful.
I've got a lens attachment for shooting round corners - never found a use for it.
The 18-270 could be a handy lens to add to my collection but it sounds like this one's condition might be a little worse for wear!
I hope the body survived without any damage & that the lens was insured.

She looked very photogenic last night with all her lights on, but I didn't have time to enjoy the view. Hopefully I'll get a few shots tonight (I took a daylight one this morning). Rather than hi-jack JAK's thread I'll start a new one & add some of my historical shots of them

WHY? Do you need to know what lens was used to take the photograph? It's immaterial!
YOU may not find it useful, but most photographers want to be able to look at the data & learn (or draw false conclusions)
The data is often available to others when the image is shared on a photography website, though it can be stripped when up-loading if you prefer.
