Piececlopedia: Pushme-Pullyu. (Updated!) Moves like a Queen, and captures by approach and withdrawal.[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]

Both look good to me. If the left/right part would be perceived as specifying a temporal order, the one with the Ram facing right is the correct one, as the piece first 'pulls' (= Withdrawer-captures) a 'you' (= enemy piece), and then 'pushes' (= Advancer-captures) another 'you' out of existence. So if there is anything inconsistent, it is in the name, and not in the image.
