FYI. I'll ping a few people to get exemplary typesetting specimens. If anyone on the list has a compilation, please share.

The latest Noto Sans Devanagari is designed to render the svarita's to the right of other top marks. I am led to believe this is the correct way. The earliest fonts did not care much about supporting Vedic and the svarita and anudatta marks were simply moved out of the way to prevent overlaps.
If the top line is displayed with the font from 2014 and the others with fonts from 2012, that would explain the differences. The 2014 fonts contain the complete set of Vedic signs, the 2012 fonts do not.
