Hi Egg, and just briefly...

Here's an annotated illustration. Hypothetically, you're seeing the scene from a viewpoint in front, and my illustration is of what one might see from the side. The grey cans are what might be shown in the mirror plane as a reflection. What I was trying to suggest is that the left one is clearly wrong. At right is the correct projection of an object tilted toward the viewer and its mirror reflection, explaining why text is sometimes the giveaway of a straight copy and flip of the original. It's just a truth of optics. Sometimes you can cheat the angle while illustrating, most of the time: not.
