Any idea how much this swing arm has been shortened?

I would guess it's not shortened at all. Shorter shocks can give that appearance. Maybe try to scale it to the size of side case for reference. That may give u a idea of the approx. Length

It might be but I've been asked that question many times on bikes I've done and none of them were shorter but def appeared shorter with the lower back end. Not saying this is the case, just guessing.

why not take a scrap swing arm and chop it down to what YOUR eye likes .. instead of trying to carbon copy ? Everyone wants info on that bike .. and besides a very vague write Up I found awhile ago .. its just non existent .. Id say if it is shortend Its Very very minimal ( I agree with Visi and say its prob not) thae size of the shocks Vs fender location .. and just the lay out of a stock frame (I understand its a chop) .. dosent really seem to leave much room to bring the tire forward (maybe they hackd out the swingarm gusset while they were at it )

Un-cut swingarm and it has ZERO room to move forward ..
