I'd suggest the images support the gear being down, it is not clear but looks like pixels similar to gear position.
The aircraft is not slow for the phase of flight, irrespective of its flap setting, if anything I would appear to be quite fast if a stable approach was intended.
A lateral rolloff may be from an asymmetry of a flap, it s too fast to be likely a VMCA event, No TRs, but an asymmetric lift dump might give such a roll off. With 2 pilots it shoudn't be a physiological event, but it can still occur. The DFDR should survive, hopefully they have enough parameters to determine the cause promptly.

Was this doing charter work? it doesn't appear to be on an FAA AOC or transferred by ICAO 83 bis to a CAAM AOC, and they don't seem to have an CAAM FAOC, so hope it was legitimate FAR 91.
