So if we can see the swashplate, the likely separation point is at the row of green bolts underneath. (where the struts attach)

Not very likely , not a lot going on here unless you install barrel nuts upside down.

Next MGB joint is to the ring gear of the epicyclic reduction gear, lots going on here.

After looking at the end of the suspension bar we can see with the pictures available Pin/washer and securing pins could be intact.

The MRB leading edge protective covering shows buckling approx. 1/3 from root which may have been caused by excessive bending of the spar due to excessive pitch.
