Firstly when recovering start by making 2 copies of the raw device on separate 
hardware.  If need be buy 2*4TB disks to store this (the price of the disks is 
nothing compared to the value of the data).

How exactly is the disk "damaged"?  This will be important later.

When you have an image of the disk stored safely run use losetup to set it up 
as a loop block device and then kpartx to access the partition table.  After 
doing that run "file -s" on the block devices for the kpartx created partition 
entries and give us the output.
