Careful with the sequence of photos. In Machaca's superb ones the third and fourth shots, of the after fuselage, are not in sequence: the fourth shows the fuselage very shortly after the crash and the third, later in the day when, presumably, the tail section's been towed aft to make way for rescue workers to enter the main section.

Likewise, the photo Kulverstukas posted from AviaRepair shows the cockpit section upright, after rescue operations, and not as it came to rest initially which seems to have been 90 degrees to port. So the view when rescuers arrived at the cockpit section would have been very different and more confusing.
