The first one is a Victor 3 and the 2nd a Humpback 2?

Name plates are on the crank side of the cabinet.

I suppose this is an artist's mis-conception.

Rene,
I had an early Victor one that Bob bought that had the name plate on the side? But then again, I am an Edison guy.

The record is upside down, and it's spinning CCW!

...OK...

. I think this question has been brought to another level.

Clearly Victor QC didn't notice a Vic III is pictured where a Vic II should be and visa versa. I just find it surprising Victor released the catalog as shown.
I would have ordered a Vic II and demanded a Vic III as shown...

You know, you could have held them to the advertised price of the Vic III? Pay for a 2 and get a 3.

Victor wasn't alone in suffering from catalog errors. Here are two pages from the 1910 Edison Phonograph catalog:
