Default Apollo 13, what if the SMs tank had exploded after the LM had been on the surface

The photos 13s astronauts took right before re entry helped discover
the cause of the explosion....

would a stranded crew be ordered to undock to look at their SM, given
they were going to die, and the in flight camera may not have had the
resolution to show what occured.


Ordered, probably not. That said, they were professional test pilots for
the most part and would probably continue to "perform the mission to the
end" even if the mission changed.


photos obviouslywouldnt get bach unless the crew got back, and in
this


Right because they didn't have any tv cameras.

did other tanks have the same defect? over voltage on underrated
components


No.
