Whoever made the first two maps is good at drawing.
A classic example of this distortion is the village of Syrianochori.
It never had any Muslims. Not even Islamized ones.

And what do the colors represent exactly? In the first map they seem to be more spread out (I assume light orange means that a small minority of TCs was living in those areas) while by 1973 they concentrated in certain areas (dark brown possibly means areas with TC majority).
This would be a result of (a) urbanization, and (b) the setup of a separate „TC administration“ by the TC leadership in the 60s as a precursor to the planned partition, and the move of TCs to the areas controlled by their leadership.
