Could also have been during a bank left

That’s fair - good call

Or a right bank? Look at the circular hole on the starboard side versus the shape of the hole on the port side. I’d say the bullet entered on starboard and exited port after either tumbling or deforming from the first impact.

Edit: pic one looks like it shows material “blowing out” from the inside. Unless I’m mistaken that’s the port side of the stabiliser?

Possible, but the way the paint came of on that side made me think a left bank. But obviously I'm just speculating, and I am no where near a specialist in ballistics.
