a15_v_c_o_AKP (AS15-96-13011)
Overhead view of the Apollo 15 landing site taken during the mission. The ALSJ site has the photo preceding this, so it's nearly identical, stating that a/the brightened area (due to Lunar Module Descent Engine plume impingement(?)/surface activity(?)/both(?)) can be seen. I can't make it out...I see multiple bright(er) 'smudges'. North is to the top.
Great view (out of many) from LROC for comparison:
