Re the magnified scan, mm43, the wings seem to be awol. I'd expect SOME indication in the distribution that the wings were down there with the plane, somewhere. I'd expect them to be at least a slightly denser collection of debris in a roughly straight line perpendicular to the rest of the debris.

That outlier might simply be the outer portion of a wing if it broke off on impact. That would suggest the other wing might be that slightly thicker bit of debris across the roughly fuselage shaped debris field.

If that is the case we might even be able to infer something modest about the current distribution as the plane sank.
