Maybe the original photos were taken too far apart i.e they do not overlap ? Thats why they have to reuse some of the surface elements to make the panoramic view look seamless ?

now if these artifacts showed up in any one single image, then yes... scream insanity, but these are two photos put together at the edges. there are pretty decent programs that do this mostly successful. nothing beats an actual artist in creating them however.
But look again. The location is almost the same, probably separated by a few meters.

Not "a few meters". The panorama on top was taken at Station 6, the other at Station 7. Station 6 was about 1/2km ESE of Station 7. The pans are looking south. In the pan from Station 7 "Tracey's Rock" is out of the field of view to the right, on the slope of the North Massif.
The hills in the background are 8 to 10 km away.
