What I do note is the ground and lighting conditions match pictures from Tehran during the recovery of bodies yesterday, and I don't think the SA15 has been operationally fired in a lot of environments, limiting the opportunity to see their seeker heads just lying on the ground.
I also noted similarity of terrain/plants in the background, and also wondered if the SA-15 was widely fielded...or operationally fired.

I came to the same conclusion as you.
