The picture you posted just does not support the breechblock being completely into battery. The hole that is blown out in the case is well forward of the extractor cut when the case and breechblock are completely in battery. The hole that is blown out in the cartridge case would have been fully contained within the barrel. Also, the blown out piece of metal that is turned up is still attached to the cartridge case. This piece of metal could not have been in the chamber unless it was bent into that position during the removal from the chamber.
