Ok so after further review of the images, I think those cups were definitely put there intentionally. If you look at the original image FIRST posted with the container of red wire, there are blue and green cups to the left. Based on the size of the staircase I think it is safe to assume that FedEx's photo was taken on the desk, or one next to it, that I highlighted in the larger box. They moved to that one and filled a different basket with different wires.
But look at the smaller square. That blue thing sticking up is all alone in FIRST's photo. In FedEx's photo, look at that same spot. It looks like there are red solo cups next to it.
