Default Shuttle cargo bay radiators/doors

I keep looking at these AMOS photos of the Columbia in orbit and trying
to figure out what is going on with the aft port cargo bay door:

Do the doors shift position like that inside of a minute?
In photo 3, the aft port door is a lot more open than in the two first
photos.

Keep in mind, in the forward part of the doors, the radiators can lift away
from the doors.

It may be you're seeing movement there, or just a result of the angles of
everything, the light is a bit different and reflecting differently between
photos.
