Post Trident wreckage question

Chinese Marshal Linbiao defected China to Russia in an aircraft, Trident 1E, nore than 40 years ago. Today, some aspects of his defection are still under mystery. Lin's plane, which was a Hawker Siddeley Trident 1E, crashed in Mongolia in 13, Sept. 1971. Recently, a Chinese guy took some photos of the remainings of the plane wreckages still in Mongolia, shown by some Mongolians to atract Chinese. But someone said the wreckge was not from the Trident. I post the photos here to see if any friends here can identify if this wreckage were from Trident and which part of this piece coming from. This might help solve the 40 year puzzle.

I have a preliminary guess of the wreckage. It looks like a kind of door with a window. What makes it uncommon is the three "nozzles" on one side of the "door" and the taper shape of the “window”. I tried to locate it on the surface of Trident 1E, but failed. I appreciate any effort to help.
