Bo,
I took some more shots today. The damage on the arm is quite interesting in that there does appear to be some evidence (to my completely non-expert eye) it occurred during life. I'm less convinced about the damage to the skull. There looks to be plenty of 'erosion' of the skull after death. So it might just be that the 'erosion' has occurred near the suture lines in the skull, them being weak points. Even with the arm though, remember that when uncovered they had the consistency of 'wet blotting paper'. So distortion of the shape after death can't be discounted.
I've got Mike Morwood's book at home and it might be explained there. I'll look through it when I get a chance.
