My guess is that the polish, or rather lack thereof, makes it rather difficult to make a proper assessment.

As the yokote is gone, perhaps someone's tried to touch it up a bit? Hopefully any such attention won't have resulted in any permanent damage.

To my eyes, it seems you can rather see where the yokote should have been. A shobu zukuri blade would probably have had a more gradual transition into the kissaki area. And neither hada nor hamon appears to be visible here.
