What do you mean ?
Ms Tanner either saw Smithman or Innocentman.
In either case she "adjusted" this sighting in order to orientate the PJ in the direction she thought was right. It was then extremely gentle from DCI RW not to force her to admit that.
I'm prone to think she saw Smithman though, because of this mental block on the face.
Smithman is a possibility and would explain the big discrepancy and possibly covering for someone. But I think JT was getting her head filled with all sorts of information from the others such as what pyjamas Madeleine was wearing. Because of the pressure of the sighting being Madeleine in her eyes and alcohol intake she may have got confused on where she actually saw the man.

At that moment a female individual, he did not know whether she was a member of the group of friends, who was in the neighbouring apartment, said that she saw an individual carrying a child,
running, and that because of the pyjamas she was wearing it could have been Madeleine. It was in these circumstances that abduction began to be talked about. He made a report about this situation and sent it to the police.
This sighting did not seem to him to be very credible, because when he asked her about the physical characteristics of the individual, she said it was very dark, however she saw the pyjamas clearly.'

'At a given moment, the deponent translated the deposition from one of the ladies that belonged to the group of English people, namely one that she indicates as being a brunette. This lady told the GNR officers, and the deponent translated, that she had seen a man crossing the road, possibly carrying a child.
The deponent found that situation strange because she was convinced that when she saw this man, the lady was positioned in a spot that has no viewing angle to the location where she had seen the man. She doesn't know exactly where the lady was positioned when she saw the man passing by, but she knows that she indicated that she saw him passing on the street that lies in front of the window to the bedroom where Madeleine was, walking into the direction of the street that leads to the Baptista supermarket.'
