  In this article, we interpret affine Anosov representations of any word
hyperbolic group in $\mathsf{SO}_0(n-1,n)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{2n-1}$ as
infinitesimal versions of representations of word hyperbolic groups in
$\mathsf{SO}_0(n,n)$ which are both Anosov in $\mathsf{SO}_0(n,n)$ with respect
to the stabilizer of an oriented $(n-1)$-dimensional isotropic plane and Anosov
in $\mathsf{SL}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ with respect to the stabilizer of an oriented
$n$-dimensional plane. Moreover, we show that representations of word
hyperbolic groups in $\mathsf{SO}_0(n,n)$ which are Anosov in
$\mathsf{SO}_0(n,n)$ with respect to the stabilizer of an oriented
$(n-1)$-dimensional isotropic plane, are Anosov in $\mathsf{SL}(2n,\mathbb{R})$
with respect to the stabilizer of an oriented $n$-dimensional plane if and only
if its action on $\mathsf{SO}_0(n,n)/\mathsf{SO}_0(n-1,n)$ is proper. In the
process, we also provide various different interpretations of the Margulis
invariant.
