Drive during 1944, L-NavCam pan roughly stitched in MS ICE be should be good to help pinpoint the location. (the plan called for a 25 meter drive south)

Look at the panorama from that sol which Damia has posted at the top of this page. There are tracks all over the place, old and new. That darker spot with parallel lines in it is similar to occasional spots elsewhere with fragments of tracks like that - some show zigzag tracks, others are short sections of parallel lines. Especially, look in the foreground below that dark spot where faint tracks from a previous sol show up in the gravelly soil. I think your darker spot is just a small patch of sand in the gravelly surface which happens to capture a short section of track with parallel imprints. The rest of the track is less defined in the gravel, but that bit stands out.
