I'm not sure that it is wise to reveal this information at this time. The press monitor these forums and cannot always be relied upon to report the facts. spannersatcx has a valid point, which I'm sure will be in the final (factual) report.

have seen photos of ZS-SAS landing on only the Body Gears it was in the 1980's
In the 80's the procedure when one wing gear would not extend was to land on the body gear only. However, this was a complicated procedure which entailed disabling the No4 hydraulic system so Boeing changed the procedure so as to land on all available gear.
