Interesting deduction
amy. I'm not sure what's what.
...but the BBC image is fiction (like you said...a recreation). Perhaps the BBC knew the intersection but not which corner, so they just plopped it on the roof of the coffee shop.

-that said, I'm not 100% convinced that the southeast corner is correct either. (I'll have to go back and look at
HossC's vintage aerial again)*

UPDATE:
* I just looked at
HossC's aerial. I believe the southeast corner is correct. Initially I couldn't see the shadow he was talking about (I was looking
behind the billboard),
this time I spotted it in front, and he's correct. Like
HossC said, you can even see the shadow of the lighting bar above the frame. (the lighting bar is missing from BBC's concoction)
