After a quick look with JOSM:
Three of the four new images available are :
- ALOS/Pan-Sharpened
- ALOS/PRISM
- ALOS/AVNIR-2
They cover an area whose South-Western (bottom-left) corner includes
Jacmel (not for Pan-Sharpened), and that extend well beyond Port-au-Prince.
The fourth image is :
- ALOS/PALSAR
It has lower resolution and covers a very wide part of the peninsula
West (left) of Jacmel and Grand Goave.
It is a radar image. Thus it is cloudless and shows shaded relief.
THANK YOU JAXA / ALOS / SpotImage (Distributor) !

Could someone knowledgeable please create the boundary images in the wiki ?

I see in

that new ALOS imagery is available.
(Duplicating here in case someone is not looking at the wiki, but
checking his or her mail)
