Flag mirrors would explain some of the difference between forward and backward drag.

Although not good forward, at least the shape is sorta convex. Backward makes it concave, with mirrors recessed ~5/8" into housings.

Remove the mirrors, run the tests again, and I bet the results would be even closer. Not that either direction is very good.
