This is Surveyor 3 in the most recent released image.

Great work as always Phil.
Thought I'd try a bit of reverse Phil-O-Vision and squish rather that stretch the image to reduce the shadow to something more in scale for the Surveyor vehicle. Here's the comparison.

Here is a
I found a site that has many VRML models of Russian spaceships. http://vsm.host.ru/e_vrml.htm All I can discern it is run by a guy named 'chernov' (nice site!)
I oriented the model (approximately) as seen from above as in the images Cheers -------------------- CLA CLL

Interesting!
By the way, only a couple of weeks until the next LROC release - June 15th... Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

This is a possible candidate for the Chang-e-1 impact crater. I have done a comparison of Apollo 15 Metric camera image AS15-M-2003 with LROC M106533362RE, and some nice-looking craters in LROC were already there for Apollo 15. This one is on the verge of detectability in the Apollo frame, but just possibly might be new. I don't have the Apollo panoramic image yet to confirm it.

Another possible impact crater... this might be SMART-1. If so, it just skimmed the crest of the mountain in the top image (approaching from the north) and hit the surface slightly to the south of it. I don't know how plausible that is, but I don't see another candidate site yet.

The new release is out... and to celebrate it, here's Surveyor 7 casting a nice shadow.

... and the nearby 'playa' which was the actual landing target. Nice gullies!

This is Surveyor 7 from the raw image instead of the zoomify screen.

This is an extreme enlargement of the area around Surveyor 7 in that image, fitted to craters in the detailed site plan in my Atlas, and with Surveyor 7 placed in its correct location and orientation. The spacecraft drawing doesn't show the solar panel/antenna assembly to avoid hiding objects beneath it. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Wow! Slightly OT, but is that a 'pond' of impact melt? And what are those 'knobs' near Surveyor?

Yes, it's one of many ponds of impact melt around Tycho. The pattern of cracks is quite typical. I'm not sure which knobs you're referring to, but probably what you are describing are just rocks. This was quite a rocky site, as you can see if you look at the Surveyor 7 panorama (Google will lead you to it).
