Interesting picture, dive brakes deployed, looks like the Left engine was not running but the propeller was not feathered, the Right engine was making power but with the Propeller blades bent forward? usually only seen when the tips of the blades of a running engine contact water.
No visible damage from enemy action (does not mean it does not have that kind of damage) Almost looks like a late pull out of a diving attack that just struck the ground. But with an engine out and the prop not feathered that's a lot of drag.
With the way the grass is tamped down and the Left wing damage it looks like it was sliding and somehow was turned around backwards and continued to slide. That would explain the forward bent prop blades.

Most belly landings are attempted with minimum power, bending prop blades back. If near max power, the blades bend forward in contact, as in the no.2 engine in the second pic.
