Are you sure these ruts are 747 wheel tracks?

1. To the naked eye they are constant depth. Imagine the impact of the landing gear at about 150 knots - I think the divot would be somewhat larger.
2. They appear to be at a slight angle to each other.
3. The berm is basically undamaged except for the lights.
4. There are four similar ruts towards the right hand end of the berm - but the spacing is wrong for these to be caused by the other pair of bogies.
