I copied both his raw pictures in Photoshop, pulled the levels slider to the edge of the black, and had nearly the same images he ended up with. If I were doing it from raw, I could probably match his final shots with nothing more than levels and shadows highlight. Try it yourself. Also, the story said he was using a D700, the same kind of Leica Kyle uses.
