Unused flipmap in Diving Area?

Hi.
I ran into this flipmap in Diving Area by accident.

Thought it was pretty cool, decided to share!

What do you think the original plan for it was?

If you want to try it yourself, just jump through that corner like shown in the video!

Cool discovery! It's hard to guess what its purpose might have been, seeing as it's likely just a leftover from an early design choice that eventually became obsolete.

I don't really understand: What's different about it to be a flipmap?

Oh I'm sorry

Compare the textures on the floor (and the wall) on 0:05 and 0:35
And the small texture at 0:13 and 0:43
Anddd at 0:20 when Lara is walking backwards and forwards, notice the texture on the wall changing a little.
