There could have been an intentional miss-identification by the author. Maybe the one destroyed by Kyouhei before was Tokotachi and not Amaterasu. Amaterasu's latest form is more inline with the mythology that it was a sky goddess. The design in the flashbacks looks more like a tank which fits Tokotachi's mythology of being connected to the earth. It does seem that Amaterasu and Tokotachi are being established as the two most powerful Kakashis' with a connection between the two.
