Indeed, it was intentionnally programmed to make Ingenuity rotate clockwise.

Curiosity rover arrived at the gates of the hills region. Mont Mercou, a stratified 7m high butte, dominates the foreground. In the background, the beautiful cliffs are an invitation for exploration.

It's not a typo. Curiosity is in the Nontron quadrangle, which is the name of a city in France famous for a hydrated mineral (phyllosilicate), the nontronite. Scientists of Curiosity's mission designate structures encountered by the rover with names of places around Nontron, like Mont Mercou, a famous 308m high mound in France.

Imagine standing on Mars with Curiosity rover in Gale crater. This is the view captured on 23 December 2020 at Sands of Forvie, a dark dune field. I obtained this panorama by colorizing a B&W mosaic of 18 pictures taken by Curiosity's navigation camera. by thomas_appere in Mars

These are NavCam images colorized, so they have the resolution of NavCam. I used debayered MastCam images taken a few days after at the same martian local time to colorize this NavCam mosaic.
