Honestly? No. That's not what I see.
The pic in the provided link (i.e. Heritage) is indeed aerial & long distance. This pic is from BEA's first interim report (dated December 15, 2000), and was re-published in the final report, as Dozy said just abobe, in § 2.1.3.

But it's not the pic I was thinking about:
Please, do not get stuck on the one page of Heritage Concorde, and refer yourself to BEA's richer final report, § 1.12.1.8 Tyre tracks, you'll find some other pics, that are neither aerial, nor long distance, nor blurry.

And as Clive said:

... I would like to insist on the fact that the 2 parallel tracks seen on Fig 24 are indeed from the flapping remnants of one tyre only (the #2 tyre). And show no wobble of any kind.

No, sorry. But if you're struggling to understand some specific part with Google Trad or such a tool, feel free to ask for a free translation (keep it short, please ).
