I'm of the opinion that the images are just artifacts due to the jpeg algorithms that are used to compress the image. What we are really looking at in the pictures are just individual pixels. There isn't enough information stored to give a clear image when the image is blown up to the proportions demonstrated.

Those images actually have many pixels. You can see the shape of a square, with darker colors and a gradient (which would be consistent with lighting falloff, and a border similar to the color of a concrete flat surface. I am not sure I can agree that these are pixelation/artifacts from jpegs. Do you have other examples of jpegs with this artifact?
Take any jpeg picture and blow it up and you will see the familiar square pixel pattern. Notice the similar appearance to the square image in the photos. And we do know the images were super enlarged right to the point where everything started to get blurry. But do this for yourself to see what I'm talking about.
