That's interesting about AL557. I wonder when it crashed? At trivia level, I see that the complete wreck appears, perhaps, to be in a different colour scheme from the wrecked cockpit section, and the logo present on the port side of the complete wreck is not on the starboard side of the wrecked cockpit?
