Since an I2S LRCK frame is radially symmetric, "wrong phase" and "inverted
polarity" look the same. The only way to definitively distinguish them is by
looking at the sample data.

In "i2s-h6.png", the samples are all zeroes, so you're assuming that the first
sample transmitted (that is, when the bit clock starts transitioning) was a
"left" sample.

However, in "h6-i2s-start-data.png", there are pairs of samples we can look at.
I'm still assuming that similar samples are a left/right pair, but that's
probably a safe assumption. Here we see the first sample in each pair is
transmitted with LRCK *high*, and the second sample in the pair is transmitted
with LRCK *low*. This is the opposite of your claim above.

An ideal test would put left/right markers and frame numbers in the data
channel. The Python script below can generate such a file. Then you would know
how much startup delay there is, which channel the "first sample" came from, and
how each channel maps to the LRCK level.

It would also be helpful to test DSP_A mode, where the LRCK signal is asymmetric
and an inversion would be obvious.
