In my opinion this is the most possible scenerio, but it can't answer why the landing gear doors are intact.

As a general technique to intercept glide slope from above, pilots would early lower the landing gear to increase drag to reduce speed when in high descent rate. So except the TOO LOW GEAR warning, over speed warning will remind pilots to lower the gears, too. It's less possible the pilots FORGET to make the gear down.
