Clarification, that is for the old Curiosity rover. The page for Perseverance has some additional information

for high-gain antenna, and

for the low-gain antenna, which I believe the first two images were sent through

Maybe it was the low gain antenna but via MRO or other orbiter? 30 bits per second seems like a bit too slow to get even the two small images back so quickly.
