If I understand you right I think you should make the image thrice as wide
and use the center piece for the front, the left piece for the back and
don't use the right piece.

That way the perspective will be centered on the front which is more
important, and the distortion will appear mostly on the back. BTW, the
smaller angle you use, the less the image is distorted by perspective. You
can also experiment with other camera types.

If you move the camera over it will be impossible to make the two images
align, since they're taken from different angles. Unless you use
orthographic camera.
