  Top fish facing left, bottom fish facing right?

  4 fins yes, facing yes, but there's more about the faces.

  Bottom fish has a slightly open mouth, the upward curvature of the snout is similar on its VM counterpart.

  Yes! The bottom fish has an upturned snout. This is only found in some manuscripts, but it's definitely a "thing". 
  
  
  (That's not the special thing I found, I'm about to post that now).

  How about the bottom one is 'happy'. The top one is 'sad'. A parody of the masks of Comedy and Tragedy.

  I know it's not what you were referring to but would be interesting if these were intentional spots on the face of 1 of the 2 fish, you see the same in the VM
  Probably just marks on page/bleed from text on reverse.. but whoever did the VM image took some time to add a fair few spots on the top fish and didn't bother with the below, seems intentional. Trout/Salmon for example (among others) have sexual dimorphism which causes more vivid spots on the males but not females.. just an idea

  One mouth open and one closed does not seem to be so rare.
