If you look at the lorry at the bottom, just in front and above it ther's a large bright rock. if you look at the road you can see the joint running across the road. There's a discontinuity in the ruts! You can then follow it up through the various floors - it shows up again in the middle where there's a sideways Y in one of the floors.

The map is the territory - especially in chain scale.

Wow! I can now see where you mean at the bottom, also further up on the road it is visible (now you have told me where to look!) Damned good job you did there!

Yes. I learned by experiment not to use wide angle lenses when I was thinking of a panorama. These were taken using a Zenith SLR with a 55mm lens (If I remember rightly). I found panoramas worked even better if you used a telephoto - but then you needed an awful lot more shots - and as time was usually precious, I didn't bother. A lot depended on how smooth a rotation I could manage -which without a tripod was tricky. Those were the days.

Better to regret something you have done - than to regret something you have not done.
