If yours is not off the car I can send you some pictures of a compressor body and parts of a broken pulley for you to compare.
Let me know

Do you have it removed from the car? Outside photo won't reveal if the compressor is seized inside the only thing they will be able to judge is the condition of the pulley to see if it's broken and perhaps argue that an outside object caused it to brake!

I believe that if the compressor is seized (center is sheared) and you did not have and AC line leak whereby you lost the lube oil out of the system you have a valid warranty claim.
Hope these picture help

Stenzel,
This not a belt that drives the combination PS pump and AC compressor, it is the flexible coupler that is located between the back of PS pump and front of the AC compressor. The PS pump has a front pulley where a drive belt is located that drives the PS pump and at the same time AC compressor shaft.
See the schematic for clarification
