If I understood your graph correctly, the "valleys" represent the
contribution  from the headgroups and the central "peak" lies in the middle
of the bilayer.
It can be seen that the two monolayers are not equivalent which is probably
due to lack of equilibration.
You can convince yourself by measuring the density of the system along the
axis normal to the bilayer (use g_density -h).
