Is the orientation correct (albeit with z along the horizontal axis and x
along the vertical axis) if you don't do this ^ ?

What happens if you make an off-axis projection aligned with the y axis,
i.e. L = [0, 1, 0], north_vector = [0, 0, 1]?

Can you try making an off-axis projection of the 'x' and 'z' fields?
