Power Line on the Shinkansen Roof

Shinkansen bullet train has sixteen cars. But it has only one or two pantographs to reduce air resistance and noise. So, power line is required between the cars.

 

I do not understand why the design is not symmetric. Layout of the devices under the roof must be different for these two cars. Actually, the type of the car is not the same. One has a door and the other does not.
