...it seems as though the officer is standing rather far forward, in front of the van window. Although depth is hard to judge. If the officer had been standing farther back, close to the rear of the door, it probably would have put him in a better position to see the revolver being drawn,

I don't think so. Standing where he can look directly down in the car where he can see the suspect's hands, lap, etc. provides the officer with a better view than standing behind and to the left of the driver as the B Pillar, seat back, and driver's body shields from view the driver's right arm, chest, and part of the driver's lap.
