Incosistent map generation when using merged laser scan using ira_laser_tools #109

I have two sources of LiDAR sensor on the robot one in the front and other on the back with 270 field view for both, I am using https://github.com/iralabdisco/ira_laser_tools to merge the two sensors to produce a single 360 field of laser scan data. The odom => base_link transform is provide by GAZEBO.

Gmapping does produce a map with merged LaserScan data but the map generated is a bit inconsistent,

The map generated by any of the front or rear LaserScan sensor is as expected,

Below is the metadata for all the sensor,

Merged:

What could be the reason which leads to such an inconsistent map generation using merged LaserScan data?
