Is it possible, from this, to estimate where the Stab Trim was set - assuming no movement from impacts.

Yes, it is the tail because that is where the Stabilizer Trim is located.

Often there are markings on the vertical stabilizer which would indicated the Stab Trim simply by the leading edge position of the horizontal stabilizer.

It is possible that someone familiar with this aircraft could tell by the photo (even without the markings) what the Stab Trim might have been.
