Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure but when I look at the picture closely I have the feeling that the cab might be missing at least partially.
Even if it was a doors off flight I seem unable to see the solid part of the cab that is normally underneath and a bit in front of the pylon.
Therfore I wouldn't rule out a classic mast bumping with severing the cab. In that case the tail boom might stay on unscathed. I'm pretty sure I remember cases before where that happened.
In that case we could only pretty much rule out LRRPM induced Mast Bumping because that usually blows the Rotor disc backwards leading to the Robbie- Cut.
