It may be a tanged head stuck in a heavy ferrule .
 The profile is similar; the Mandaya spears in my collection have blades that are sword thick (1/4") or less; much thinner in cross section than a Moro spear. I really haven't seen enough of these to get much of an opinion on standards . I remember Bill had acquired a beautiful example in the not so distant past . Paging Bill M.

What drill bit can I use to bore out the broken wood shaft that is stuck inside the ferrule?

How far inside is the shaft ?
If you can I'd suggest a screw be put into the shaft end . Tie or wrap strong wire around it . While heating the ferrule it might be possible to pull the shaft tip from the softened adhesive .

that grey 'plastic' ring looks like someone filled in a gap with epoxy-steel.

A 3/8" auger bit may do the job?
