"More often than not your first inclinations are correct" and I think in this case this is a true statement. If you refer back to your #3573 post, the attachment points of the spoilers in your picture match very well with what is seen in the crash photo. The leading edge of the wing in the crash photo isn't there. IMHO, the wing tore from root to tip, maybe as a result of the forces of the engine and pylon tearing away. The bend you see (outlined in green) may have more to do with the location and angulation of the interior structural spar in the wing. The painting of the words in English & French "Do not walk beyond this point" may vary slightly in location from aircraft to aircraft over time, but the spoiler attachment points do not.
