Looking at the pics above it appears that pole #2 has almost half it's length white colour stains and pole #3 the upper 25% white colour on the side. Zooming into the poles reveals also that there are scratch marks immediately below the stains.

The impact zone photo shows a prominent impression, judging by the size I assume most probably from the fuselage.

C-SAR, beside the excellent job you did here, just a clarification please, from your photo position, is the road behind you or between first impact and the mosque? I ask as there are no landing gear markings to see and the elevation before the mosque may actually show the higher level of the road where the landing gear impacted and broke. In this case, there was a very high AoA during the first impact.
