Where's the tail-wheel?

With most twin-engined tail-wheel aircraft, the tail-wheel is near or after the leading edge of the horizontal tailplane. From the angle of the tail, it looks (to me) that the tail has been blown off the main fuselage and is resting on its vertical fin. The elevators are sagging groundwards exposing the fillet fairing on the fuselage, From this angle, you should be able to see the tail-wheel (or tail-skid), unless it's hidden in the smoke or blown off.

If the tail-wheel hasn't been destroyed or obscured, this would mean:
a) it's an aircraft with an unusual forward tail-wheel;
b) it has a nose wheel.

Does that narrow the options.....or just make it more confusing?
Douglas Boston/Havoc/DB-7 perhaps?
