Sure enough, the photo is actually of a training mockup that does not match the actual configuration.
Good eye. It didn't sit right for me as well - AA had the CRTs in the aisle with the initial delivery of the 738s, which were then replaced with the small LCD dropdowns in the overhead. The 752s went from CRT to LCD overheads in the aisle. I do not recall any LCD screens in the aisle on 737s.

It appears to be a training mock up from this company: https://www.newton-design.com/lm-cabin-service
