Do we have any idea of the scale of these images?

Do we have any idea of the scale of these images?

I presume the imager is mounted on the spacecraft module that actually made contact with the comet, so I suppose the frames are a sequence of the approach, but I haven't been able to identify any features on multiple images. Also, the last image is out of focus, suggesting the optics were focussed at infinity and it was the last one taken before impact. Then again, the imager may transmit low resolution previews of each image as a contingency.
