If you're referring to the second wide-angle shot where there are several vehicles and men on the runway, the very bottom of that picture shows the stain from the fuel spilled when the tank burst. The picture itself is taken roughly in the direction of the takeoff roll from just prior to the unburnt spillage.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the tyre burst preceded the fuel leak, would it not be reasonable to conclude that no tyre or debris markings in that photo were made prior to the tyre burst?
[For reference, this picture I'm referring to is Fig. 74 on the report, p.160. I must confess my initial impression was that the resolution was not sufficiently high to determine tyre and rubber debris markings with much accuracy. Additionally, determining the nature of marks within the soot is made difficult, as it appears one of the ground vehicles has inadvertently driven through the soot trail.]
