Yes, that's expected.

Yes, that's expected too. It is impossible to get good match from Lr to
dt automatically.

That's a bug as crop&rotate should be 100% correct. This part of the
code did not had many attention since some time because it is probably
not used a lot.

What would be good is to find a patten. Is that for all pictures? Only
the portait or landscape one? When the camera is rotated left or right?

When a pattern is found you can open an issue with the XMP here:
