appears your pin connections aren't aligning correctly. On your punch-down block, port 1 shows White Orange, but the RJ45 port displays Solid Orange and white orange is in slot 2. Pins 3 and 4 on the RJ45 jack are also backward—should be Blue then White Blue, but they're swapped.
It's challenging with these jack pinouts because they have varying arrangements on one side and a different layout on the opposite side, making it feel reversed. I understand that.
It really appears to be well done, using the B standard as intended. It seems he’s correct about the punch-down, though there’s a mismatch with the RJ45 since it specifies which pin it is on. At least that’s what I’m interpreting, and he’s sticking to the proper standard.
It can be challenging switching between various jack/punchdown styles on either end. Some jacks have unusual back-end punching while still having correct pinouts because of internal copper paths. Using identical jacks on both sides adds complexity, even if they seem mismatched at first glance. When punchdown points differ and you assume compatible products, confusion can arise. Your concern about the first diagram not matching the second is valid, especially when trying to align them for consistency.
The two ends seem accurate, but the punchdown block is hard to interpret due to the angle, and the label spacing doesn’t reflect the actual gaps between wires. I suggest using an Ethernet tester. You can find affordable options that confirm complete pairs: https://www.amazon.com/iMBAPrice-Network...01M63EMBQ/ Ref and another that shows wire connections and lengths: https://www.amazon.com/NF-388-B-Multipur...00BDI6O7Q/ This last one works well for me. There’s an issue with the Amazon listing—NF-388 with eight remotes and NF-308 with one remote seem swapped. It doesn’t matter which you choose, as long as you have one remote unit; they’re otherwise identical in use.
