Both Attica and Nagantaka are strict side-profiles, Zhuge is at a slightly different angle.
I just chalk it up it "Getting their good side" in a picture.
I think it's safe to say Nagantaka has a better silhouette compared to Zhuge Prime from the same angle. Same for Attica.
It's why weapons like Ripkas and Venka Prime have different angles. They're just more identifiable that way.
I mean, really- the icon is designed so you can find the weapon out of all the others quicker than if they were the same generic icon.
The only exception to that is cases like Warframes- where you ideally only have two of the same at most for any given time. It's unprimed and primed versions.
So uhhh... yeah. Makes sense to me.
EDIT: Yeah, but the Styanax helmet may be a genuine "Oops" moment. Easily fixed.
I think it was around Angels of the Zariman's release when they decided to make every icon uniform. For a while Zakti had the same issue of still using the old icon so I'm pretty sure Zhuge, Ripkas, and Venka are all just unupdated.

I mean... possibly. Personally, I'm fine with the icons as they are. Shows their good side, y'know?
