Everything is probably inside (apart from the mentioned dust on the cover)... |

I wonder if static electricity had any significant role in determining where dust did and didn't end up. That can have quite a visible effect, but I have no intuition whatsoever as to whether that could have occurred here.

But now I want a livestream from the cameras looking in from the near-upper-left and far-upper-right. |

No, my understanding is the main sample compartment is yet to be opened... I believe this is bonus dust material inside the craft based on all the mechanics of grabbing and stowing the main sample in the "amazing grab" we saw in a near zero-G environment

One consideration is that the sample was subjected to ~30gs during re-entry. Any friable pebbles that were captured might have been crushed by the g forces, though hopefully not. So there may be more dust and fewer pebbles in the sample than before re-entry.

Is the sample amount collected more or less the anticipated?
