I'd be quite surprised if it were the same kind of scenario - in addition to the difficulty is being loaded outside the envelope at that point in the flight, a far forward cg would have likely presented trim issues earlier in the approach after first selecting full flaps. That they got as far as they did seems to suggest not.

Also, the aircraft appears to pitch up quite smartly just before the final pitch down, which would suggest that something was powerful enough to pitch it up.
