This is oddly wasteful. The azw3 really doesn’t need to have any image at all since the ones from the azw6 are actually used. The combination I would expect of azw3 without images along with an azw6 is sometimes seen on Kindle devices.
Note:

I found a script that dumps the contents of azw6 files here.

It seems like not all images are stored in the azw6 file. Just the ones where there are higher quality versions. On one of the manga I tried unpacking, the azw6 only contained 144 images while the azw3 had 193 images.

I do wonder why they went the azw3+azw6 route instead of just going with the HQ images in the first place, though. Granted, I guess KFX remedies that.
