The fault could be caused by camshaft position sensor, however there are (I believe) either 2 or 4 sensors covering the two banks of cylinders. You have misfire faults on both cylinder banks. The chances of two camshaft position sensors going wrong at the same time are fairly remote... I don't think they're easy to check without an oscilloscope. In all honesty, my money's not on the camshaft sensors, but still with the crankshaft position sensor.

PS: I believe you can code out that awful seat belt noise, certainly our ones in Europe don't do it! Or you can get a spare clip from a breakers yard and plug it in. Or you can get one off evilbay: Car universal plastic safety seat belt buckle alarm stopper clip clamp New UK15 | eBay. The noise must be very distracting when you're on private land or are trying to work on the car ;-)

Having a hard time finding crank PS. Can't see it from top or bottom. Also any ideas on that oil leak. I also think there is only a cam PS on one bank.

Regarding the oil leak, I think these are relatively common in the vacinity of the front of the engine. But it's one of the few problems I've not (yet) had! There is probably just one camshaft sensor per bank on your car, there's certainly at least one per bank (i.e. min. 2 sensors for the engine).

Camshaft position sensors (you are M62, aren't you!?)

Dead cps. Open circuit.

"cps" ???
Camshaft position sensor, or crankshaft position senor?
Presumably crankshaft as you already measured (one of the) the camshaft position sensors' resistance and posted the value above.

Crank

I doubt it's permanently completely faulty because (a) that's not the way they tend to go wrong, and (b) to the best of my knowledge if it's completely dead then so is the car! But it seems likely if you're getting very odd reasons that that's the cause of your problems. Change it and let us know...!
