I think the point is that the crosswind leg and crosswind over the upwind numbers are actually different places in the circuit.
BTW, how do you do an overhead join when approaching the airfield from the deadside of the circuit? The CAA piccie doesn't seem to demonstrate this eventuality. I'm presuming you need to do a 180° turn as you overfly to return to the deadside before descending?
