if it's not on the car, you can tell right away !

You sort of work it backwards, If you can get the stock camber adjusted with approx three shims and stock length bolts it's not bent. The more shims needed, the more bent it is. If you think it's bent, it probably is. Same for tow, if you can't get there it's bent.
I agree with John.
It is bent.

It is bent.

I belive there were stock measurements in the haynes for the control arms this may help to see if it is bent.
dunno how accurate Haynes numbers are though
