I today received from a reliable source an email-response to my question, "Is the Bullpup rifle shown in the General Dynamics Next Generation Squad Weapon [2019] article capable of left-side ejection?" ---

From the video, I'm seeing barrels recoiling off-target on full-auto like 7.62x51.

LRRPF52 Wrote:It's all real. Some of the earlier attempts at hybrid metallic/polymer cases were abject failures resulting in case head separations, side wall fractures, dislodged projectiles, and blown primers.

There are at least 3 different approaches going on with 6.8 NGSW as mentioned in the down-select.

The new True Velocity cartridge configuration basically fits the form factor of 7.62 NATO, with with substantially reduced weight and substantially-increased working pressure pushing a .277" EPR. The bullets they're showing may or may not be the specified projectile that the Army "nailed down". The Army has changed the projectile weight and shape at least 3 times already.

Pretty neat stuff. Hopefully since the guns were designed to handle this type of ammunition they will function just fine.

A couple of links about how the Textron AAI NGSW-R assault rifle works and it's ammo.
