It's TSM mistake. Grain parts are calf. Rereased by Beams maybe.
You can see close images in Japanese forum. Please search in google, Alden 6602.
$375 is right price for them.

If you get creases on the sides of the shoes (below broguing) is that a fit issue or just the way you walk/arch etc?-

I think most major Alden shops stock E width suede LWBs, the best bet would be Alden SF and Alden Madison.

He's saying either. Or it could just be the leather itself. It could be that you bent down on your toes and bent the shoe differently. It's very hard sometimes to pinpoint why some shoes crease differently.
The shoe snob has a blog post about it. From what I've seen I seem to not get as bad of creasing as some, and I attribute it partially to not bending my toes like when you squat on your toes bending them past a 90 degree angle. But some of my pairs just crease oddly compared to others.

Analysis: Correct.
