Then another, the last one, toward the bottom. Top right could almost be a circle if you look at it. Then the bottom one even shows slight striations suggesting a ring. I am no astronomer or astrophysicist though so I apologize if this sounds absurd.

The rim on the left remained intact as it fell to the bottom pushing material in front of it to the center. The collapsed rim on the right closely matches the missing material from the crater wall and also pushed “run out” before it filling the center of the crater with a loose bulge.
Just below the cliffs of the top straight line you can see the circular original wall of the crater protruding in the way you would expect it.
Such a collapse could’ve been triggered by a meteor impact on the crater wall similar to the one that came later in the center of the pit.

It looks like it would fit right inside with a small section of the straight wall being curved also.
