A cheap shot: try to mount it. Either as loopback:
mount -o loop /sde1 /mnt
or by dd'ing it first to a suitable storage (e.g. a stick).
If that suceeds, then it is a file system image *and* you can nose
around in the mount directory (/mnt in the above example) to refresh
your memory.
Of course you gotta do that as root, either by sudo magic or whatever.
