That dump is from the drive in the encrypted state. From looking at it, it appears that the partition information is 00ed out. You could post a similar dump from the drive in the decrypted state (plugged into the USB controller) to confirm.

Well, it is OK by now. I've got help from this forum.

For those who doesn't read Russian I'll try to summorize. We used DMDE2.2.2 program. Made a dump of 2049 sectors, then of 100000 sectors. Forum's guru made a patch and I wrote it in zero sector.
And a logical disk appeared in Windows. But as unallocated.
Then I've made another dump of 100 sectors from 6293504. And used another patch. And I saw all my directories & files.

Thanks to all of you who payed attention to my case!

I think the MFT patch (sector 6293504) wasn't necessary. The MBR patch should have been enough
