Jim: The film is shown at about 1 hour 16 minutes into part one of the video "What Happened on the Moon?" which, I think, was produced by Aulis (could check that and look for credits if you wish). Some still photos from it are printed on page 160 of "Dark Moon", along with typical rhetoric from Bennett and Percy.

As JayUtah says, it is purely a simulation using a model on rocky ground. For it to have been the real thing, Apollo 12 would have had to land on the opposite side of the Surveyor crater, into the Sun, and on a roughly circular path -- points which seem to have escaped the producers.
