It would seem very similar to the HK aircraft.

Similar style of "Vertical Fin" break with one wayward Tail Rotor Blade.

6. In the evening of 3 July 2010, the helicopter was lifted out of water. The top section
of the vertical fin, the tail rotor, the tail gearbox and the associated drive shaft, control
rods and cover fairings of the helicopter were found missing. After extensive
underwater search, the tail rotor and the tail gearbox were salvaged from the harbour on 14 July 2010 but one of the four blades of the tail rotor was still missing. Search of the remaining missing parts is on-going.
