One earlier photo of the CVR was such that the label with a little magnifaction clearly spelled out solid state memory cockpit voice recorder
see

note the mangled attach points and a split in the lower orange mounting ' tray'
now look at
http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...ml#post9169622
to determine how and where it was mounted compared to the FDR ( which mounted different but above and with a badly bent ' tray " in the hands of ?? as shown in
http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...ml#post9165152
but no obvious ( in this view ) aluminum colored tray or attached framework.
Which is why I think that same section hit the ground with CVR still ' installed" and was taken away before press access
IMO damage to CVR and FDR was most likely from impact with ground while attached to a heavy object such as HS wing box and jackscrew brackets, etc.
