It's just the aesthetics really for me and the over laping with the stone next to it, and hardly anyone takes a photo from that side as it just doesn't look good/right, you must admit there's hardly any photo's of that side, just one really clear one on here for example, it looks wrong, and the way the capstone rests perfectly on the sidestone behind is odd as it not even meant to is it?


Some other overlapping sidestone ,sometimes it's just on one side .http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/2963/tirnoney.html

If the backstone was in place then wouldn't it mean that the capstone was not resting on the sidestone ?
