A candidate crash site for Mars 6 is being reported. I'm not anywhere near informed enough to evaluate their work, other than that a lot apparently went into it.

It is an interesting analysis and a promising candidate. For confirmation we would want to see other components of the landing system nearby - especially the parachute. The Mars 3 parachute appears to be visible after all these years, so that of Mars 6 may be as well. If other features are found near here, we would have an excellent candidate. If not this may just be a natural feature that happens to resemble the expected lander appearance.
