Pretty close. You should also be able to see how the reshape worked 
(front to back, back to front) and you should get a pretty good idea of 
the data-offset by the gap between the superblock and the data.

I must say I'm having trouble imagining a more difficult recovery 
scenario, so at least you present an interesting challenge.

There's a lot to be said for the old "Don't panic" mantra, but hindsight 
is always 20/20.
