This other pic (surely taken short before dawn) gives another good idea about the nose gear doors OPEN and some kind of circular shade that could be a wheel. Resolution is not good to determine the last assert.
This image is a possible way to help determine if the gear was down or not at the moment of the impact/bounce. Word to specialists, I'm not one of those.

Somebody in this thread questioned why the hull was rapidly dismantled and/or pieces being hidden somewhere.
This is a regular action after an accident, just to avoid an airline "flag" showing disaster.
When it's impossible to MOVE the a/c out of sight, it's used to PAINT the places where the symbols of the airline appear (tail, i.e.)
