As this picture shows: http://en.structurae.de/photos/index.cfm?JS=68093 it's actually constructed so that it appears the correct way round when viewed from either side. So the "A" I saw is actually an "R" superimposed with its mirror image! It's quite elongated because of the angle of the sun, so what I thought was the top of the second letter is actually only half way up the first! Figured it out already! As this picture shows:

You can see the way the letters are supported. Except... why does it look like the "A" is one from the bottom, when it should be at the top?
