corrupt jpg files

I recently had a hard drive problem and recovered images with photorec. Some of the jpg images are corrupted. However, gimp displays previews of the corrupted images in the open dialog box.

I have posted a sample image along with the gimp screens at: http://legomenon.org/~gary/found/

Any suggestions on how to salvage the corrupt images?

The previews are stored in separate files in ~/.thumbnails, so it is no surprise that they might have survived. I am not sure if the original data can be restored.
