On many jetliners (E-3 based on the 707 of course), the doors extend during landing gear extension and retraction. So the second shot looks to me like gear retraction has been initiated during a go-around. Therefore both shots could be of the same approach.

I haven't done much 'action' stuff so not had problems with rolling shutter but I can replicate it by panning and getting a skewed background.
