I'm guessing it's a duplicate of the smart objects on screen/add/overlay mode and mirrored. Basically unless you say otherwise (by doing 'New Smart Object Via Copy') embedded smart objects will be instances of each other, i.e all duplicates of the same embedded file. So change one, change them all.
A bit like having more than one linked smart objects linked to the same external file.

I do a bit of retouch for a global bath/body/hand/face care brand and often do relabelling of product in existing images which come from many different places as the account is huge and different countries and agencies deal with creative and production.
just been give a soap bar and box to relabel and the smart object for the front label is the usual open it up > add label > close and it appears in the main file. but the reflection of the label auto updates and uses the same top label but flipped??? how does that work? i expected to have to do this myself and was a bit mindblown. I don’t like smart objects and never use them for my own jobs but this is the devils work and i want to know how this is done.
anyone smart enough to tell me?..
