Can an auto expert recognize fom the damage caused by an accident whether it was two moving vehicles colliding or whether one was stationary and hit by an oncoming vehicle?

I can't answer for sure, but I would think they could. After seeing so many wrecks, they have a good idea of how things work. They may also check out the black box in the car, that will give them the last 7 seconds record of what happened before the air bags went off.

Very often they can - there's a growing profession of automobile accident analysts who can read a great deal into most accident scenes.

most of the time it can be determined by speed calculation and the severity of the damage.

If your vehicle has air bags, it has a data recorder also, and yes, they can find out.
