The photo depicted at the top of the page is flipped vs the one on the plaque?

I think a daguerrotype might be reversed, as its a direct positive image, so thats probably intentional to match the layout.

Did a bit of googling, it looks like the "traditional" view of the image is mirrored, and the plaque version is what you'd have actually seen.

It's kinda wild that the people in this picture will probably be remembered and seen for millennia, and they never knew about their own importance.
