I don't think you're anything more than a NW2. The 'A' designation for NW2 and 3 means that the front forelock area is receded or significantly thinned, and yours is still going strong and is actually quite low.
-
Sure? NW2 and not 2.5 or so? I was marked down as a NW3 when getting my initial prescription, which worries me a lot still.
My make concern is the diffuse loss rather than my hairline, however. I am extremely worried that I left it too late to save my hair as viable - or rather noticed the MPB too late - unless Propecia really thickens it out on top. I lost a lot of hair in the first few months of Propecia due to shedding.
-
Your hair isn't bad, just a little diffuse. Your hairline isn't any more than a NW2- just stick with the treatments I'd say.
-
Do you think it is theoretically possible to beat the diffuse loss with treatments? I realise that I won't get back to native density, I just need 'good enough' to be cosmetically acceptable. Which, frankly, I'm not at the moment under direct sunlight or strong artificial light sources. I shaved my head again a fortnight ago because my hair didn't look 'viable' enough to go round with, and the diffuse loss wasn't nearly as bad in appearance before I started Propecia.

I think at the very least you'll go back to baseline if you stick with it and with any luck it'll thicken up a bit.
If you keep the buzzcut for a while, I'm sure no-one will notice the thinning.

I hope not! Although, I feel bad at the moment because shaving/buzzing my hair short shows off the compromised hairline. But having it longer, the diffuse thinness is VERY visible, I look heavily balding.
Would you say that my hairline is 'presentable', acceptable, etc?

I have to agree with this.

I'm sure and no, it is not more than a Norwood 2. Your hair does not look diffuse to me.

Looks NW 2 to me as well.
Meds tend to work pretty well on diffuse thinners (I'm one myself). My guess is that you'll recover nicely from the med shed, which is normally a sign that your hair is responding to treatment.
