The wings are highly swept but that could be because of the angle of the camera, or they may be partly broken away The plane could be upside down or at an odd angle. I don't see the engines and the starboard side of the tail (assuming the plane is right side up) are missing. But those may be the blobs in the lower left of the photos. I remember reading a book about the search for a paddle-wheel treasure ship that came up with several likely-looking hits before they got the one that panned out.
