I meant that since both diagrams looks quite similar (but one with the "moon" 
at the top and the other at the bottom", how did you reach the conclusion?

For me (really I can't comment on astronomy) f68r1 could also mean a 
Moon/Planet conjuction and f68r2 could depict a conjunction of the Moon and 
Mars in Taurus. Really they look like upside down of each other.

Thanks,
