Itokawa

I looked at the Nove 16th and 21st APOD pictures of the asteroid. Are they the same asteroid from different sides views. If so, the one side looks spherical. Can this possibly be a planet that has been torn apart and we are seeing the inside in one picture and the outer smoother side in the other?
