Default Actual time lapse vs distorted time lapse

The daily motion of the surface across the fully illuminated face on the September Equinox follows, at least from an orbital perspective, a Northwest to Southeast path -

The motion of the surface on the March Equinox should follow a Southwest to Northeast path but NASA has chose to present an unacceptable perspective opposed to that excellent time lapse above -

Only on the Solstice does the surface appear to move West to East parallel to the orbital plane -
