The Half that you see above the Eastern Horizon at "Moonrise" isn't

What? Of course it is the same half! It is just apparently rotated
somewhat... with emphasis on the "apparently".

Not counting librations, the moon only presents one face to the
Earth.

Hmm!! I would have thought at "Moonrise" you would see the 'western'
half of the moon first, whilst, at 'Moonset' you would see the 'eastern'
half of the moon last!!

Well, actually you have it backward. The "right" side of the moon in the sky is its eastern side and the "left" side is its western side. See this labeled map...

Ah!! Do you see, on the jpg that you linked to, on one side they have "E
(on moon) W (in sky)" and, on the other they have "W (on moon) E (in sky)"??

I'm guessing you and I are using the opposite references!!
