There are several reasons to do this.
In the case of this photo, it may have been flipped so that the people did not appear to be walking off the page wherever it was originally used.
And the photo, while a large file, may have been displayed small enough that the logo didn't matter– no one would notice unless they opened the photo. It's an old newspaper/magazine thing to have people looking 'into' the page, not off, and not into the 'gutter' between facing pages.
In movies you may be seeing time-shifting and looping to extend a scene; a fireplace, or water feature may be added into a scene using special effects. If the clips don't match time-wise, the artists can loop (or bounce) the shorter clip to extend it. When they do this, it's not hard to randomize things like flame, water, and smoke to make them less noticeable. Today, many scenes are composited together from actual footage and computer generated scenes, to the point that most people can't tell the difference. Saves a ton of money, aside from the fact that fantasy and period-pieces almost cannot be filmed any other way.
Thank you! Some things I had not considered.
Have a great 4th.
