I think the only things you can conclude from the photos of the one engine are these:

1. The fan rotor and fan casing are both gone.
2. Most of, if not all of, the fan bypass stator vanes are gone.
3. The titanium fan frame and struts are visable but damaged.
4. The one piece turbine rear frame containing the rear engine mounts (attachment point to the pylon) is gone as well as the rear portion of the LPT casing exposing some turbine rotor blades.

Very true, my mistake - I mistook the stator vanes for the rotary vanes.
