I've read elsewhere about people hitting chunks of concrete and road debris resulting in identical damage. However, there is not much commentary regarding if the cradle should be replaced, or how to do it. So far, all my questions have been answered! Now I am just waiting on the new cradle.

The scarring up front on the leading edge also makes me think this. 
If it hit a large enough chunk of concrete (for example) while traveling "at speed" it's very possible the car was lifted up in the air briefly enough to pass over the object before coming back down, OR possibly the object shattered to pieces upon impact and the remainder of the undercarriage passed over the smaller pieces.
Either way, that was a hell of an impact.
