This reminded me of my Hale-Bopp stereo pairs. With left and right reversed, it appeared that the comet was behind the stars! When I worked for an aerial surveying company briefly, back in the late '70's, I was exposed to stereo pairs shot from an aircraft. With left and right reversed, the topography was reversed. Stream beds jutted up toward the viewer instead of down into the earth. It's the same with these solar shots. You still get a 3-D effect, but the sun looks like a concave sphere instead of a convex one.
