I noticed a similarity between two shots taken in GE and TWINE. In both shots Bond is running away from gunfire with his gun in hand and heading straight for the camera. The first time is in GE when Bond is escaping the military archives building in St. Petersburg, and the second is in TWINE at Zukovsky's caviar factory. The two shots are so similar I can't help but wonder if the shot in TWINE was attempting to imitate the original shot in GE. If it was not intended, I think that is some strange coincidence. A two second shot of Bond running isn't very significant or memorable, so why bother to recreate it. The homages and references to past Bond films featured in DAD and QoS where of classic Bond moments, not of random actions from random scenes.

I think it's probably just coincidence. The director and camera team were different on GE and TWINE so it's not like its someone's signature or trademark. It looks like the intention of the TWINE scene is to show the buzzsaw coming up behind him so they had a reason to shoot it that way.
