I think what KatSLF meant was that the missile exploded to the port side of the flight deck at a distance not yet known. This means the No.1 engine would stand a good chance of ingesting debris from the missile.
My two pence on the "skid marks" on the wing: There are images of bare metal sporting a green "skid mark" on it. Metal that is not primered (leading edge of the wing, for example), so I doubt the marks are actually the primer.
I warrant that after the missile went bang, what was left of the none explosive parts hit the wing as they began the fall back to earth. With the forward motion of the aircraft, the wing probably travelled into their path. Either that, or it is damage from the explosive shrapnel.
