That picture depicts snapshots at the same sidereal (star-time) of the day.
The directions to the stars are the same in all cases, wheres the directions
to the Sun (i.e., the tropical or Solar time of day) changes over the year.
Your figure is slightly incorrect, though, in that I believe it shows the
axis of the Earth's rotation as being the ecliptic axis. This might very well
be a conscious short-cut by you, to produce the figure, and might not have a
bearing on your future argument. I don't mean to criticize your otherwise
correct and lucid figure.

Regner
