I think the lower one was a longer disappearance by a different star. The red dots indicate a disappearance and the green a reappearance (I hope that is the order). Not sure why one pair is in yellow.

The path of the star is probably in an arc which is greatly exaggerated in the vertical scale in arc seconds.

100% spot on Rob.

The stars were SAO 162922 (upper) and SAO 162930 (lower) grazing at the southern cusp.
