So, you are saying that the post-earthquake photographs show the buildings 50 
meters from where the pre-earthquake photographs show them, but there is no 
difference in the location or appearance of the terrain?  Unless the buildings 
in question are on wheels, and might have rolled to their new location, it 
seems unlikely that a landslide strong enough to displace buildings by 50 
meters would leave no visible traces other than displaced buildings.

Sounds like buildings drawn precisely from high-res but poorly
georeferences aerial photos.
Looking at a sat-image you don´t know if not all of that photo is 50
or 200 meters off unless you
are on the ground to compare.
