would the reverser's stow with the levers still up?
Yes, at around 60 Kts.
Believe flight manual says IF flaps greater than 22 and BOTH wheels spin up to 65 kts. I think flaps were set at 10. Comments??
While I certainly do not know what happened, it seems logical that hand on reversers would be forced violently forward on deceleration from hitting ditch -- thus closing reversers.

which eliminated that switch.
Its still there.
True -- functions slightly differently depending on serial number and ASC accomplishment. Also is pushbutton versus guarded switch on III.
Like all of you, I do not have definitive answers.
