I've noticed some differences between the photos and the diagram. In both the photos, a1 is a light square, but in the photos, it is a dark square. Additionally, the two photos do not have the same setup as each other, and neither one matches the diagram. The first one superficially appears to match the diagram, but it is from Black's perspective. That means the King is actually on the f file, and the Queen is actually on the e file. In the second photo, White's King and Queen have swapped places, giving the game rotational symmetry instead of mirror symmetry.
