On the parameter, the two transformations are S(λ)=1/λ and T(λ)=1−λ. Their compositions yield
λ,Sλ=1/λ,Tλ=1−λ,TSλ=1−1/λ,STλ=1/(1−λ),STSλ=λ/(λ−1).

Every step lifts to an invertible projective transformation of the corresponding cubic curves. Therefore all six parameter values give isomorphic curves. Some values coincide for special λ; this does not affect the conclusion.
