The story looks fabricated to me.

Note the eley with skin still on is laying on a different side than the eley being skinned. Same eley?

Note the common folk being held at bay on the hill as the feet are skinned out by "guys in coveralls".

Note the gent in green coveralls standing on the left in one of the photos, sure looks like a game tracker to me.

All smells of a hunted elephant being processed by the outfitter's crew.
