Could they tell from the location?

Not EXACTLY, the area is littered with all sorts of debris from a
lifetime of launches.

Yes, but we are talking only about Saturn F-1s. Is the location of
where each SI-C went down known accurately enough to tell which ones
have been found?


A 30 second search shows Apollo 15 was launched more southerly than
previous launches.

And since the launch depended on where the Moon was in its orbit I have to
guess there's some variation (on the scale of miles) between where the
impact points were, but I don't know how much stuff might drift and how
accurately the impact spot was tracked.


"Apollo - The Definitive Sourcebook" by Rich Orloff and David Harland has
the impact points. For instance Apollo 10's S-IC was 30.188 deg N, 74.207
deg W while Apollo 11's was 30.212N, 74.038W. I don't know how big an area a
location to that accuracy would cover.
