So none of the magic numbers for a directory block match.
And FWIW, I can't see any XFs magic number in that block.

Oh, that's toast. Something has overwritten the start of the
filesystem and it does not appear to be other metadata. Well, not
exactly the start of the filesystem - the superblock is untouched.
What sector size is being used for the XFS filesystem? If it's
not the same as teh filesystem block size, then XFS can't have done
this itself because the offset that this garbage starts at would
not be block aligned.....
Cheers,
Dave.
