Yes, Ronaldo, Bale played as a striker more often than Ronaldo last year. Ronaldo plays wide left almost every game. Di Maria mostly played similar position but on the right till Bale started playing, he plays more centrally in the second half of last season. One of the reasons Isco played less as the season went on.
Don't know why Real class him as a forward, well, not unless you class Bale and pretty much Di Maria the same way, they all play fairly similarly in terms of where they start(or prefer to), style of attacking play(running at the defence and cutting into the middle).
Likewise I really wouldn't start Ronaldo or Bale as a striker in the middle unless injury forces it, they are both better starting from midfield and driving forwards.
