For what it’s worth – an attempt to identify witness marks etc. Tell me where I’m wrong.

The nose wheel hit at point A and was forced up into its well.
The two parallel lines B, inside of the main gear marks, are caused by the sides of the (probably distorted) fuselage digging through the soil.
At point B the aircraft is pointing directly towards camera.
No 2 engine detached at C and its inertia took it into the ravine.
C is the relatively light intake of No 2 engine.( Sorry, it's the C on the right )
D is the detached Tail Cone.
