I have noticed in their photos one thing seems to be consistent. Any parts the investigation team disassembled to remove have remained disassembled in subsequent photos.
Other parts remain as they found them. The rotor head hung from slings shows this also, top pins are hanging loose by the struts and lower plates / pins are as they were on the table. One on, one off. The only exception is various nappy pins reinserted.
I think this supports the conclusion that one lower bracket was removed at the crash site.
