The plates down the back alternate sides. The side view shows it but doesn't make it explicitly clear as the far side could be seen as a center row.

    that doesn't feel properly asymmetric to me, it's just "well one side has to have the first plate". Like yeah technically but that's not the spirit of the term.

    When i hear "asymmetric" i think stuff like flounders.
