Different people could reasonably disagree. The solutions with top rows:

159483726

594837261

Look pretty equivalent to me, which is how you get the 9 transpositions.

Yes, but the solutions are different if the order (permutation) of the rows with the pattern rotations are different. There is a huge number of ways the rows can be ordered (9!).
