That photo of the skid marks appears too simple for an out of control aircraft.

I expect though that some of the folks on here may make sense out of it

In my experience skid marks may not be uniform for several reasons

The ground is not uniform

The antiskid system leaves different marks on different sides

The weight on wheels varies with aircraft wing roll

If you can sort this out in a stalled aircraft case considering rudder inputs then you may have a clue
