Check my arithmetic, in case I've messed up.
I was using by phone as a calculator.
If all else fails, look at /dev/mapper/censored--encrypted-root_fs with a hex editor.
Hexeditors are dangerous tools. Looking is OK. Don't change anything by accident.
The first block should be all zeros, maybe with a signature bytes at 1FE and 1FF.
Code: Select all

The first block is reserved for a boot loader, hence its all zeros where its not used.
If you scroll forward and you find some all zero blocks, make a note of the start address.
You can tell mount to try that by adding it to the offset= convert from hex to decimal first.
