Looks to me like this piece is twisted. The fragment toward the top/left of the frame looks charred and is convex. The fragment on the right looks concave and appears to have some of the insulating blanket still attached -- the blanket also appears to be caught on/wrapped around the piece that runs across the bottom of the picture - which I think is a small section of the large ring that circles the heatshield and attaches it to the upper part of the aeroshell.
