Yeah, it's definitely a frightening concept.
I did notice a tiny difference in the Battleship Orion blueprints, between the version above and the version in Aerospace Project Review vol 2 no 2.
In the magazine version, the hypersonic landing craft are longer and skinnier than the blueprint above.
No big deal.

I noticed that as well, I'm not sure what accounts for the difference.
