George, If you can get your hands on a DSLR digital camera with a clear UV filter screwed snug to the lens then look through the view finder at a bright desk lamp through a window with the front of the lens touching the window and tilted to one side or the other then you will see the displacement effect. Your observation that the images are being displaced as the they would in a Bris is correct.
