An AC crash impact in a "stall pose" means TAIL FIRST (as a tail strike in TO or landing).
This is "in the moment of impact".
IF an AC begins a stall -say at FL300- and THEN it spins or flat spin or whatever makes and the impact is in another position, then it isn't a crash in "stall pose".

In this case, being for the action of the load of fuel, being for the contact with water, it's clear the wings touched waters FRONTALLY, flaps retracted. This could be a "nose first" crash with some lateral inclination. This because damage in wings aren't equal. One shows a frontal impact and the other as if touched water (hard as stone) more paralel to the surface.
