The picture you refer to does not show the Left Eye image, but is actually what someone with one eye located in the centre of the head would see! A Cyclops in fact.
The reasons for this are we're trying to represent a 3D stereoscopic reality onto a 2D display screen.

Ah, I see; yes, that cockpit is as seen from the centre of the head. Nonetheless, I think that a 'centred'-eye cockpit with a right-eye reticle is erroneous, because a superposition of the left and the right eye images is what binocular vision sees.
I understand your image is for trying to represent a 3D stereoscopic reality onto a 2D display screen. Yet I think
this attempt itself is too much against reality.
A right-eye vision with the left eye shut, when you are using the gunsight, and a centred-eye vision when you are not, are, I believe, still the most realistic.
