Nice detail shot of the main landing gear, showing the main and secondary struts.  It is interesting to note how low to the ground the section is where the main strut and the two secondary struts join together, while that section of the American LMs was 3-4 feet high.
At the top, you can see the bracket which mounted the leg to the descent stage, and the upward firing solid rocket mounted to it.  An artist's drawing of these thrusters firing can be seen here.
