I have seen such rotated images, but I don't know how these was calculated, because it's rather impossible.
If you don't know then isn't it a little premature to claim the impossibility? After all, it isn't a violation of the laws of physics, just a strange optical phenomenon in the midst of many strange phenomena.

I can quickly check it out.
Sufficient to calculate the eight moving points - two squares one after another.

The equation is the same, but with two distances: one h, and a second h+a.

It looks incorrectly - rather impossible.

There unnecessarily complicate the matter by analyzing the moving observer.
It is much easier to calculate for the stationary one.

Then would be no problem with an aberration of light,
which there is probably not considered at all, and perhaps for this reason such unrealistic results.
