Sure.  You can mount an OST with "mount -t ldiskfs ..." to see the
contents of it.  The objects are in /O/0 under the place you mounted it.
From there you can examine the contents of individual objects.

But note, that if any files were striped, their total contents will be
in multiple objects, with no linkage from one object to another.
