In this shot of the NC wreck from 1941 & what I identified as the tail section, I'm referring to the aircraft cut "in half" at some point in the intervening three-plus years, leaving just the nose section & wing stubs in lower right of the photo plus the fuselage remnant of the other half with the tail on the end in the upper left. Flipped over with the smaller rudder portions sticking up, that piece in the upper left does resemble what I'm saying it is per the diagram superimposed for reference. From the beginning of this thread, I thought I had identifed the center of the fuselage and a window therein in the background of the Bevington object further up and along the "reef/beach" from the wheel. My theory is that at this point the electra had broken into 3 pieces: The nose visible in the lower right of the 1941 NC wreck photo, the tail and part of the fuselage in that same photo to the upper left and the shiny, straight-edged appearing cylinder in the background of the Bevington photo. Put those three pieces "together" (in your mind) & you've got the entire fuselage from nose to tail sitting on the reef / beach at one time or another. I can see the cylindrical center section easily being carried by the waves and tide toward the NC even just 3 months post crash-landing. It's possible that the small debris to the right of this bright cylinder in the Bevington photo is the tail section but that's pure speculation. Still, the broken-off nose piece in the 1941 photo can't be dismissed so easily. It's not the whole plane, the wings that attach outside of the engine nacelles are gone as is the tail. I've found no wings but I've found the nose, a piece that resembles the tail section broken off behind the passenger door, and a center piece. Until a better quality photo can be found, I'll let you all ponder what I've come up with and leave it at that. Thank you.
