One item of interest is the lack of engines visible in the photo.
Accident event didn't seem to leave the tail terribly bent or the fus damaged to the extant that most loss of control accidents on the ground tend to.
Unsure if the tailwheel was removed by workers or torn out.
Weird for a fuel driven fire to consume in front of the wings where the fuel is located.
Might have been a victim after another event.
Adds to the mystery.

Is that pile of rubble over there the whole left wing? Totally burned out and crumbled...

...so the fire consumes the left wing, cockpit and engines and burns off the fabric surfaces on the starboard wing....?

I'd say bomb damage.
