Not really. Here's the best I can do:
Obviously my camera had trouble with the shiny surface and failed to focus well. I have a lot of photos, but most are from the drive side, and though there are a few that show this area, between poor focus and low resolution they don't tell us much.

That's not
quite true; the bike came loose and fell about 45 degrees, putting a nasty bend on the front left dropout. I consider that a separate issue-- that is, I don't see how the seat stay issue can be related to the dropout damage (but what do I know).
