2 Unique Images with one of my PCGS's One a Trueview and one showing the slabs?

I stumbled on an alternate image from PCGS that was in addition to their posted TrueView Image. I had clicked on "show all images" on the Cert verification page for this piece and presto - another different image emerge showing the full slabs.
I wonder if this is common now or was this a one off?
This is the "Trueview" I was use to having shown.
This is an alternate image that was grouped with the TV's.
While I do not like the upside down reverse image ...the fact is this photo is more like the coin in hand look than the "Trueview"
I had gone back and check on a couple of other "BASS" piece from the same Heritage auction and it appeared PCGS offered the same slab photos for those pieces as well.
Is this becoming a standard practice or just a unique circumstance for special collections? The only other similar slab image I had prior from PCGS was a piece that was photograph ( as I understood it) outside of the US at one of their other facilities.

I would guess this is a special case for this particular collection and that it is not the new standard.
PCGS did this randomly on one of my submissions.

I thought the TV with slab shot were from an overseas PCGS office.
Not in all cases.

How long ago was this TV done?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
The Bass sale were auctions conducted by Heritage Jan 2023. These pieces were all slab for that sale/auction.

Ok. I think Phil was still doing them at that time? If so, I do remember he would take many shots and "you" could get them. I don't know if the current batch of photogs there still do that.
Phil was always above and beyond in everything he did there.
