If the photo is real, then altimetry error would explain the low altitude and the ADSB reports of being on profile as the ADSB would report GPS 2d position and baro altitude.
I thought the baro altitude is referenced to standard then the adjustment made for QNH elsewhere, like a transponder. Stand to be corrected...
