Back in 2013 i made a big mistake in on copying the privatekeys of my litecoin wallet.
I got an MBR error and had to format my HD I used recurva and tried to recover the wallet files. Sadly the wallet was fragmented in two seperate files. Both files also have slightly different dates. (10 days beween each other) Around 20-40% of those wallets are NULLs which is of course a very bad startpoint. i tried the python recovery tools as well sadly with no good result. So it seems like there are barely any options left for me to recover this wallet file.

related to the following post there is an hex sequence coming in front of a privatekey of the multibit bitcoin wallet.

the hex code looks like this:

so my question here is. Is there an comparable hex code coming  in front of litecoin wallets?
Maybe if i could recover like 80-60% of the privatekey i could probably brute force the rest of it?
Seems like it could be one of my last options here before i give up.

Cheers
