There might be a few things going on here. You mentioned it was hit. First off the vehicle should not be lifted on the lower control arms and associated brackets. It looks like those brackets already have some bends to the,. The metal on those is much thinner than the frame. From my experience being a mechanic and an insurance appraiser, it looks like the rt lower arm or bracket is damaged as the front of the arm is not centered in the bracket. It also could possibly be a bent hub on the axle at the top causing that type of wear on the tires. If it's the arm then the rt tire will be dragging inward causing the same wear. It looks like it's doing the same thing on both sides. With both sides being worn the same it could have been after the accident. Depending on how it was towed or moved they could have clamped or hooked it in the wrong places, bending something. I'm leaning to the latter as it's pretty much even on both sides. If it was hit on one side it's unlikely that the same damage would be on the other side.
Judging by the alignment specs the rt is far more out than the left. I would take measurements of the diff in the hub area and lower control arms.
