If you don't believe my that the two lines represent different voltages I will graph it using Excel and give you the cell data that shows the red line is always at a higher voltage.
You absolutely do shift it to the left. The X axis is how much charge has been discharged since it was charged to the starting point. If you only charge a LiHV battery to 8.4V, that's where the curve starts from. The amount of energy delivered is the area under the curve from the starting point to the finishing point. Let's assume that in a typical race you draw ~2500mAh and only charge to 8.4V. For the blue line, that's starting from 0mAh at 8.4V and finishing at ~2500mAh at ~7.4V. For the red line, that's starting from ~300mAh at 8.4V and finishing at ~2800mAh at ~7.4V.
