Afaik, the Russians have invited the Red Cross etc to inspect the site, although I've no idea what one could find.
Presumably one could swab the walls and maybe get a sense of the explosives used, possibly isotope analysis could differentiate Russian from western sources. No idea whether the inspectors would have that kind of capability.
Trouble is that with the site so open, someone could drop in a few HIMARS fragments and make a big deal of it.
