"stage 5" turbine wheel pics?

Yep it sure will. All I need to be able to do really is clearly count how many blades there are, and see if the trailing edges of the exducer are straight or what. I really don't need to see the inducer tips at all. In other words, just what you could see of it when the housing is on is enough.

Basically what I'm trying to do is figure out if the "mystery" turbine wheel in this turbo could possibly be a stage 5, and I'd like to have a pic of a stage 5 on file anyway:

Here's the Stage 5 turbine from a SCM 6152E; the first pic proves it's a 6152E pictured:

Wow, well that's a 10 blade wheel, so the mystery wheel is def not a stage 5.
That's what I thought would happen but could not find a for-sure pic of a stage 5 anywhere!
The shop that builds this turbo has been avoiding questions about what the wheels are in it. I wish they would just learn that it's ok to say "that's proprietary info". But maybe it's more fun for them to lead everybody around on a merry chase.
Thanks for the excellent pictures.
You wouldn't happen to have a genuine Garrett GT3782 lying around somewhere would you?

I can't see what's so special about that turbine and why they'd want to hide it- it actually looks like older tech to me. Newer turbines have less blade count, and the ones that are there are wider with less angle to flow better.

For example, the older HX40 turbine looks similar to the one in your photo:

The newer HX40 turbine is 10-blade and looks almost identical to a Stage 5 Garrett:
