I think this happened when someone started updating the layer modes 
documentation several years ago (which is still very incomplete). The "new" 
layer modes have different effects, meaning the examples need to be 
replaced.

However, I think we also should have documentation for the legacy layer 
modes, which is where these images possibly can be used. If I remember 
correctly this is why I didn't remove these images.

Note that there are also many orphaned "translated" images.

Images for each language can be checked with:

make check-images-nl (where nl can be replaced by your language code).
