In practice, these pictures will probably convince as many "moon truthers" as any "proof" for a moon landing conspiracy would convince the other side: None.

Conspiracy theorists and the rest of the population actually behave rather similar. Neither side has undoubtable, definite proof of their version. Yet each side considers anything that seems to support their own version as a definite proof, while they are instantly aware of any doubts that can be brought up against anything that seems to support the other side's version.

In this case, conspircy theorists would probably point out that th pictures could be photoshopped, that some lines on what might or might not be the moon don't prove anything, and that even if it was proven to be tracks on the moon that still doesn't really prove that man was there: You'd be able to find similar tracks on Mars as well where mankind has never set foot. Just like the reflecting mirror on the moon, considered by many as a definite proof of mankind on the moon, doesn't actually prove anything as well: The russians placed at least two of those on the moon as well, yet they never set foot to the moon.

And last but not least, remember that not all moon truthers think the same: Many people are only sceptical about Apollo 11, as most indications for a possible moon landing conspiracy are related to that particular mission. These people don't generally consider all moon landings fake, they don't doubt the Apollo missions brought man to the moon. The pictures won't prove anything to them because they don't show anything Apollo 11-related.
