Just trying to clarify the issue. The thread is already a bit complicated.

In principle there are 4 different options of angles in diagonal tilted focus planes in a single photo shot with the Ts-e lenses.

But only 2 of the 4 options of diagonal tilt can be made in each of the stitched panorama/vertorama formats. As an example here the full horizontal stitched panorama format, with the 2 not-optional diagonal angles marked:

In a traditional view camera the diagonal tilt is made by a combination of swing and tilt. And all 4 diagonal tilt directions can be combined with shift or raise for stitching panorama or vertorama.

Am I wrong in this?

You are right that with a horizontal 90 degree shift left and right those angles would not be possible due to the 90 degree rotation limit of the tilt axis. However, with a +/-45 degree rotation of the shift axis you are able to get those angles and the other diagonal direction as well.
