Probably /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sda3 have the same labels and mount simply mounts them in a consistent way according to some logic we're not aware of. I'd say: if it works don't touch it ;) What remains unresolved is the question whether data=writeback is ok or not. We'll see if somebody has more information on that one...
