Default Film of Moon's surface from LM ascent stage

I was watching some Apollo footage on TV, and I saw one or two of the
16 mm films taken from the LM as it lifted off from the Moon. This
was not the Apollo 11 film, which is well known and shows the flag
almost falling down. This would have been from a later landing and I
might have seen two different ones. Anyhow, it gave a good view of
the landing site with the things left on the Moon and, importantly, it
showed very well how the ground had been disturbed by the astronauts'
walking. The point is that this looked very much like the recent
photos from LRO of the landing sites.

Are there any stills available from this 16mm film and can it be
matched to LRO images?
