Quite a lot of "authentic" parts for sale on Ebay:

Even Amazon sells chunks of metal claiming to be legit:
SR-71 Titanium Specimen, Blackbird Spy Plane, Model, Poster, Sample: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I'm surprised the area was not totally scoured after the incident...

Picking up all engines, inlets, avionics, of course, of course, but even scraps would seem strategically valuable...

Unless the Rus & Chinese had picked clean prior crash site(s) on their territory ??
