With todays technology you'd think they could get it clearer than that but does look like theres a gap between the line and both noses.

Top image is different.

on thurs in the mirror the grey was 100% in front..on print in lower frame its a dh..mirror not to be trusted.

yes mirror almost def mis-aligned. RTV did their freeze frame a little late. The grey's nose was about 3/4 of the way across the mirror, rather than in the middle.
