Nah, I don't think it's anything unique, but the original pictures of Asura and Indra appear to be murals rather than actually them. It may have just been a placeholder image to hide the fact that the Sharingan and Rinnegan are so closely linked. We were led to believe they evolved over centuries so that it would be a surprise when Madara activated his Rinnegan later.
