The video of the actual rocket at 1km shows a different number of engines lit up. I wonder why.

good catch. I wonder if that's "what's supposed to be running" or if it's a graphical display of telemetry that tells us what is running. It's pretty close except it appears to be a mirror image plus one that's missing or maybe/probably two.
Maybe the telemetry view is from the top down or the camera was in an odd spot that caused the image to appear reversed
I suppose this seems more likely. Still, mirror image or odd perspective of camera, but missing 2 engines.
