For info, the spoiler from the wreckage is the left hand inboard spoiler.
I think you're right. The following photos show it perhaps a bit better. The first is from an identical model also in Air France service, F-GZCG (and you can see the same 3 - 1 - 3 distribution of rivets in the centre, which I presume will be the same on the crash a/c):

This one, in TAM service, shows the narrowing & curvature at the rear corner:

Contrast it with this from F-GZCC on the right side:
