The only 'outward peeling' apparent to me (closest to camera) coincides with a score mark that lines up with the tear in the metal - when i first saw this it looked like something scraped along the surface and ripped the metal up... especially as the 'score' stops at the point the metal would have been if it was still flat against the engine...

Also how does an uncontained engine failure result in debris creating inward facing holes? It is possible these were inflicted on impact, but the same could be said for the tearing mentioned above.

Additionally, an uncontained engine failure could have been the result of external action - so you would have evidence of both outward in and inward out.
